[2] GLOW PLUG
This plug is a two-material type QGS (Quick Glow
System) for quick temperature rise, and has self-
controlling function as well as excellent durability.
The heater (4) connected in series to the heater (3),
which also functions as the resistor, is incorporated in the
sheath tube (1) of the super glow plug.
The resistance of this heater (3) cum resistor is small
when the temperature is low, while the resistance
becomes large when the temperature rises.
Therefore, because sufficient current is flown to the
heater (4) during the initial period of energization, the
temperature rises quickly and the resistance grows with
the rise in the temperature of the resistor, the flowing
current is reduces to prevent the heater (4) from being
heated.
The ignition point is in the area of 2 to 3 mm (0.079 to
0.118 in.) from the tip of the plug in order to reduce its
projection into the combustion chamber.

[3] SAFETY SWITCH
The safety switch prevents current from flowing to the
starter when the safety switches are not engaged. This
is to ensure safe starting.
The safety switches are located three (Clutch pedal,
speed control pedal (HST) and PTO gear shift lever)
different position.
