Starter solenoid

The starter solenoid is mounted at the left rear corner
of the frame. The mounting bracket is visible beneath the
left fender, and the solenoid itself is accessibly by remov-
ing the battery. See Figure 7.16.
• When the proper safety conditions are met,
(brake applied, PTO OFF) the orange wire with
white trace energizes the windings that magne-
tize an iron core, pulling the contacts closed
between the two heavy posts, connecting bat-
tery power to the starter motor.
