Emergency Stop Switch Test
This switch can be incorporated into the key
switch or installed as a separate switch. Either
style effectively connects the "M" terminals of the
key switch.
The emergency stop switch function grounds the
stop circuit wire (black/yellow) when the lanyard
clip is removed. One "M" terminal is the ground
wire (black) and one "M" terminal is the stop circuit
wire (black/yellow).

TESTS

Starter Solenoid Test

Disconnect the B+ (POS) battery cable at the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect all wiring from sole-
noid terminals before proceeding with this test.
Use an ohmmeter to measure resistance.
STEP 1
Put one ohmmeter lead on the starter positive (+)
cable terminal and the other ohmmeter lead on
the battery positive (+) cable terminal:
•
Ohmmeter must not show continuity (high read-
ing).
•
If ohmmeter shows continuity (low reading),
replace the solenoid.
