ELECTRICAL STARTING SYSTEM

STARTING CIRCUIT OPERATION

The starting circuit on this model consists of the starter motor, starter relay, neutral switch, starting circuit cut-off relay, front stop switch, neutral relay, COi unit, and reverse switch. If the main switch is on and the “ENGINE STOP” switch is RUN, the starter motor can be oper­ated only if:

  • The transmission is in neutral (the neu­tral switch is on) and the select lever is in forward (the reverse switch is on).
  • Pull in the front brake lever (the front stop switch is ON).
    • NOTE: The starter motor can be operated irrespec­tive of the engine stop switch (“OFF” or “RUN”). However, the engine can be started if the engine stop switch is set to “RUN”.
  • The starting circuit cut-off relay prevents the starter from operating when the transmis­sion is in gear or the select lever is in reverse, and the front brake lever is free. In this in­stance, the starting circuit cut-off relay is off so that current cannot reach the starter mo­tor.
