This feature makes it necessary to depress the foot-
switch to allow operation of the controls.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT REMOVE, MODIFY OR DIS-
ABLE THE FOOTSWITCH BY BLOCKING OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

console supply electrical power to the starter sole-
noid, when the ignition switch is pulled out to the
“IGNITION ON” position and the START button is
depressed.

The START button is a momentary contact, push-
button switch. With the IGNITION/EMERGENCY
STOP switch pulled up and the START button
depressed, electrical power is supplied to the start
solenoid.
