SWITCHES
IMPORTANT: Do not repeatedly switch
the key from OFF to ON and ON to OFF
over a short period. Doing so will cause
engine breakdown.
OFF ......... Position for stopping the engine
and inserting or removing the key.
ON .......... Position in which the engine is
running. At this position, all the
electrical equipment is functional.
When the coolant temperature is
too low, the engine is
automatically preheated.
START ..... Position for starting the engine.
When the key is released, the
switch automatically returns to the
ON position.
Note: The engine immediately stops when
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, but the other electric components
take a few seconds before they stop. This is
not a failure; it is due to the characteristics of
the engine control system.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN SWITCH
This switch is used to shutdown the engine if
it fails to stop, due to machine failure or
breakage, when the ignition switch is set to
the OFF position.
1. Press the stop symbol side (S) of the
switch.
The engine stops.
2. After use, press the turn symbol side (R) to
reset the switch.

operating lever to blow the horn.
