6.2A STARTER KEY SWITCH _______________________________________________
The key switch has three positions:
OFF - prevents all electrical functions from operating.
Switch must be in the OFF position to remove the key.
ON - Illuminates the red indicator lamp. This position is
also for normal operation.
START - Activates the glow plugs & automatically cranks
the engine after the glow plugs have pre-heated. Release
the key after engine starts (the switch automatically
returns to ON).
NOTE
If the engine fails to start, or if it “dies” for any reason, the ignition switch must be returned to the OFF position
