Installation Instructions
P & Q 600 SERIES DUAL COIL
“3 WIRE” DC SOLENOIDS
MOUNTING SOLENOID AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Securely bolt the solenoid in its mounting position, making sure to align the plunger as straight as possible
to the connecting linkage.
Do Not Connect the linkage to the lever at this time.
2. Using the “Wire Gage Recommendation Table” below, select the proper wire size for your installation.
Wire the solenoid for your installation as shown on page 2 of these instructions.
IMPORTANT
To insure proper solenoid operation, the total connecting wire length for both leads combined, must not exceed the
recommended maximum lengths indicated in the Wire Size Recommendation Table below:

SYSTEM # 1 - “ON-TO-RUN”, FUEL SHUTDOWN
APPLICATIONS
Solenoid is wired into existing starting system of the engine.
No added “high current” relays are required since the solenoid
“pull coil” (high current) power comes directly from the engine
starter. Wire the solenoid as shown in the schematic below:
Note
: If wired as shown to the right, and
solenoid is improperly adjusted, solenoid
plunger will release when operation is
shifted to the “holding mode” after the
engine starts. If the plunger releases, no
damage will occur to the solenoid. Only
readjustment of the linkage is required.
