OFF (5)—Move switch cover (2) all the way down to turn off electrical power to the machine and to shut off the engine. When the switch is in the OFF position, power is blocked to all electrical components except for the engine heater, NATO slave receptacle, SINCGARS, and PLGR.

START/INDICATOR CHECK (3)—Move and hold the switch all the way up to engage the starter and crank the engine. If the engine is already running, move the switch into the START position to turn on the indicator lights and check indicator operation. NOTE: The starter will not engage if the transmission control lever is not in NEUTRAL, or the engine is already running. NOTE: Refer to “Indicator Check Function,” in this section, for a description of the lamp check system. NOTICE Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starter to cool for two minutes before cranking again. Turbocharger damage can result if the engine rpm is not kept low until the engine oil gauge verifies that the engine oil pressure is sufficient. 1 2 3 4 5 2 1 Monitoring Systems and Cab Features 17 Operation Section Monitoring Systems and Cab Features TM5-2430-200-10
