CONTROL IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION, AND
FUNCTION

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is located on the right front of the
body and is used to start and stop the engine. The
switch has three positions: “O” is the OFF position,
RUN is the position the key returns to after starting,
and “S” is the START position. When starting the
engine, turn the key clockwise to the “S” position. Do
not hold the key in the “S” position longer than 10

seconds. If the engine does not start, return the key
to the “O” position for at least 60 seconds before
making a restart attempt. Prolonged cranking can
damage the starter motor and shorten battery life.
Release the key when the engine starts, and it will
return to the RUN position. To stop the engine, rotate
the key counterclockwise to the “O” position.
