1. PREHEAT/ SHUTDOWN BYPASS SWITCH
This switch serves two functions:
1. Preheats the fuel before beginning the starting
process. Press switch for 10-20 seconds before
attempting start-up.
2. Bypasses the safety shutdown feature during the
starting process. Keep switch engaged while starting
engine, and for 2 to 3 seconds afterwards, allowing oil
pressure to build beyond the shutdown set point.
NOTE: Three position Engine Control switches must be
in the RUN position during preheating. Preheat switch
must be held in ON position during starting.
2. ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH
To start the engine, hold this switch in the START
position until the engine is running.
After the engine starts, release the switch and it will
return to RUN position. To stop the engine, hold the
switch in the STOP position.
NOTE: The rocker switch is used on Series 1 panels
only, and has a light that glows when the set is running.
3. HOUR METER
Keeps track of engine running time.
