B-3 OPERATION B-3
ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 8)
1. RUN- STOP SWITCH
When placed in the
“ RUN ” position, this switch ener-
gizes the fuel solenoid and other electric accessories.
When placed in the
“ STOP ” position, the flow of fuel to
the injection pump is stopped to shut down the engine.
(Note: If the switch is left in the "RUN" position and the
engine is not running, the fuel solenoid will be engaged
for 15 seconds and then shut down. This is to protect
the battery from discharge. After 15 seconds, the Run
/ Stop switch must be toggled off then on before start-
ing.)
2. START PUSH BUTTON
Energizes the starter motor to crank the engine. With
the engine "Run / Stop" switch in the "Run" position,
push and hold the Start button to crank the engine;
release as the engine starts. Start button must be
depressed for a minimum of two seconds. Do not press
while engine is running since this can cause damage to
the ring gear and/or starter motor.
3. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE AND LIGHT
(K1585-2 only on codes 10871 and below) -
Displays the level of diesel fuel in the 25-gal-
lon(94.6 liters) fuel tank. The yellow light turns on when
the fuel gage reaches the reserve level. For Codes
10950 and 10951 yellow light is not required. Once the
reserve level is reached, the engine protection system
will shut down the engine after 30 minutes of operation.
The machine can be restarted and operated for an
additional 30 minutes before the protection system will
shut down the engine. This ability to override the
engine protection is to allow the operator to
“ finish up ”
if necessary. The operator must watch the fuel level
closely to prevent running out of fuel and having to
bleed the system.
