ENGINE CONTROLS
(Items 1 through 9)
1. RUN STOP SWITCH
Toggling the switch to the RUN position energizes
the fuel solenoid for approximately 30 seconds. The
engine must be started within that time or the fuel
solenoid will denergize, and the switch must be tog-
gled to reset the timer.
2. START PUSHBUTTON
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. Do not press
while engine is running since this can cause dam-
age to the ring gear and/or starter motor
3. HOUR METER
The hour meter displays the total time that the
engine has been running. This meter is a useful indi-
cator for scheduling preventive maintenance.
4. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the fuel tank.
The operator must watch the fuel level closely to
prevent running out of fuel and possibly having
to bleed the system.
5. ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The gauge displays the engine coolant temperature.
