Ignition Switch

The ignition switch, 1, is a key-operated, four-position rotary 
switch that controls engine starting, stopping and accessories.

ACC - Accessories are on and the engine is off.

OFF - Engine and accessories are off. Rotating beacon, turn 
signals, panel lights and flashers continue to operate.

RUN - Engine operating position. All systems are operating.

START - Activates the starter.

Work Lights

Two switches control the work lights. A two-position switch, 2, controls the front work lights mounted on the front 
frame and optional work lights mounted on the cab. The optional rear, two-position switch, 3, controls the rear work 
lights mounted on the top, rear of the cab. Both switches illuminate when activated.

Right Side Console Light Switch

The right side console dash/gauge light switch, 4, activates two lights, 5, that illuminate the right side console.

Blower Fan Switch (Cab equipped models)

This four-position rotary switch, 6, controls the blower fan for the heating and air conditioning systems. There are 
three fan speeds. 

Wiper and Washers (Cab equipped models)

The front wiper switch, 7, operates the front wiper and washer. The rear wiper switch, 8, operates the rear wiper and 
washer. The wipers have two speeds.

Rotating Beacon Switch

A rotating beacon is available for installation on the top of the cab. Power to this beacon is controlled by the beacon 
switch, 9.

Defog Fan Switch

The defog fan switch, a three position switch, 10, controls a front and rear defroster fan.

AC Switch (Cab equipped models)

The AC switch, 11, controls the air conditioner compressor. With the switch activated, the compressor is on and the 
switch is illuminated. 

IMPORTANT:  

To prevent air conditioner from freezing up, the blower fan should be operated when the AC switch 

is on.

IMPORTANT:  

When running the air conditioner the water valve cock (page 2-8) should be closed (turn clockwise) 

to prevent hot water from flowing to the heater core.
