GUARDS AND SHIELDS
Whenever possible and without affecting Paver opera-
tion, Guards and Shields are used to protect potential-
ly hazardous areas. In many places, Decals are also
provided to warn of potential dangers and/or to display
special operating procedures.
CONTROL INDICATORS & SWITCHES
(Figs. 1-5)
The Control Panel on the Backwall Console area con-
tains the following Indicators and Switches:
Starter Keyswitch
Off Position:
When the Key is vertical in the Key
switch, power from the Battery is disconnected to the
Fig. 1
Control and Instrument Panel electrical circuits. Also,
this is the only position in which the Key can be insert-
ed or removed from the Key switch.
RUN Position:
When the Key is turned one position
clockwise from the vertical (OFF) position, power
from the Battery is supplied to all Control and
Instrument Panel electrical circuits.
Start Position:
Turn the Keyswitch clockwise two
positions from the vertical (OFF) position to activate
the Engine Starter. The Keyswitch will return to the
RUN position automatically as soon as the Engine
Starts.
NOTE:
The Key MUST always be returned to
the OFF position between starting attempts. The
Battery Charge and Engine Oil Pressure (Model
1649) Indicators should activate when the key is
turned to the RUN position.
Pre-Heat Glow Plug Indicator (1649):
As an Engine
starting aid, pre-heating is required in a cold Engine
starting condition. This pre-heating uses Glow Plugs
which are activated by rotating the Keyswitch counter-
clockwise to the Pre-Heat position.
