1. Emergency Stop: Press the red switch-cover
down, at any time, under any conditions, and
the entire machine stops - the engine turns
off and nothing moves. This switch must be
up for anything on the machine to work.
2. Key Switch: This switch works like an
automobile ignition switch. Hold the key at
the start symbol (extreme clockwise position)
until the engine starts then release it to the
on position (bar symbol).Turn the key to off
(O) if the platform is to stay in one position
for a long time. That will turn the engine off
and save fuel.
3. Choke Indicator Light: (gasoline engines
only): This light will be lit while you choke the
engine (see CHOKE below).
3. Glow-Plug Indicator Light: (diesel engines
only): This light will be on while the glow
plugs are on. Wait, about 30 seconds for the
light to go out before you try to start a diesel.
