STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATION
The starting circuit on this model consists of the
starter motor, starter relay, and the starting circuit
cut-off relay. If the engine stop switch is on “RUN”
and the main switch is on “ON” (both switches are
closed), the starter motor can operate only if:
The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the
starter from operating when neither of these con-
ditions have been met. In this instance, the start-
ing circuit cut-off relay is open so current cannot
reach the starter motor.
When at least one of the above conditions have
been met however, the starting circuit cut-off relay
is closed, and the engine can be started by press-
ing the starter switch.
