ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 8)
1. RUN/STOP SWITCH: When placed in the "RUN"
position, this switch energizes the fuel solenoid and
other electric accessories.
"STOP" position, the flow of fuel to the injection
pump is stopped to shut down the engine. (If the
switch is left in the "RUN" position and the engine is
not running, the fuel solenoid will be engaged for 15
seconds and then shut down. This is to protect the
battery from discharge.
RUN/STOP switch must be toggled off then on
before starting.)
2. START PUSH BUTTON: Energizes the starter
motor to crank the engine. With the engine "Run /
Stop" switch in the "RUN" position, push and hold
the START button to crank the engine; release as
the engine starts. The START button must be
depressed for a minimum of two seconds. Do not
press it while engine is running, since this can cause
damage to the ring gear and/or starter motor.
3. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE AND LIGHT (K1585-2 only):
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the 25-gallon fuel
tank. The yellow light turns on when the fuel gage

reaches the reserve level. Once the reserve level is
reached, the engine protection system will shut
down the engine after 30 minutes of operation. The
machine can be restarted and operated for an addi-
tional 30 minutes before the protection system will
shut down the engine. This ability to override the
engine protection allows the operator to "finish up"
if necessary. The operator must watch the fuel level
closely to prevent running out of fuel and having to
bleed the system.
4. ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND LIGHT
(K1585-2 Std., K1585-1 Opt.): The gauge displays
the engine oil temperature. The yellow temperature
light remains off under normal operating tempera-
tures. If the light turns on, the engine protection sys-
tem will shut down the engine. Check for restrictions
at the engine cooling air inlets and outlets (consult
the engine operator's manual). Check for loose or
disconnected leads at the temperature sender locat-
ed on the engine. Check engine cooling blower belt.
Also check to be sure that the welder loads are with-
in the rating of the welder. The light will remain on
when the engine has been shut down due to an over
temperature condition.
