BATTERY DISCONNECT-
The STS 10T is set up with a battery
disconnect safety device (fig. 4.16-1). This device is located on the left
side of the rear frame cross tube. When the key is turned to the OFF
position the electrical circuit is broken therefore
rendering the machine unable to start. Do not
use this device as a safety when working on the
electrical system– disconnect the negative bat-
tery cable before servicing.
This device is also used as an anti-theft
safeguard. Keep the key in a safe place, out of
the machine when it is not in use.
