6. For LPG fuel operation: Completely open the

valve (6) on top of the LPG tank, (turn
counterclockwise until it stops).

7. For a dual fuel engine: Set the Dual Fuel

switch (7) to GAS (gasoline) (9) or to
LPG (gas) (8), depending on which fuel you
want to use for operation.

8. Insert the key (10) in to the Master Key

Switch (11).

9. Turn the key (10) to ON and pause there a

few seconds (but not over 30 seconds), while
an alarm sounds to alert others that the
AB50J is about to start.

10. For a diesel engine: If engine is at cold

ambient temperature, hold the Choke/Cold
Start
switch (12) up for 10 seconds just
before you perform the next step.

Gasoline engines have automatic chokes.
They do not use the Choke/Cold Start switch.

11. Turn the key (13) to START and hold it there

until the engine starts, or for 20 seconds,
whichever comes first. When the engine
starts, release the key (13).

If you pause 30 seconds or more, after turning
the Master Key Switch to ON, an automatic
protection feature will prevent the AB50J from
starting. If that happens, turn the key to OFF,
then try again.

If the engine does not start in 20 seconds, turn
the key (13) to OFF. Wait 60 seconds before
trying to start the engine again.

The engine should now be running, and the
AB50J is ready to begin work.
