The start switch works like an automobile ignition
switch. Hold it at start until the engine starts, then re-
lease it to on. If the engine dies, the key must be turned
to off before it will go back to start.

others that the machine engine is being started.

a red safety guard. Push the red safety guard down over
the toggle switch to disconnect power to all control cir-
cuits. Lift the guard and push the toggle switch up to the
on position to restore power.

per controls and in the ground position for lower controls
operation.
