Air Shutoff - Test
The air shutoff must operate properly in case an emergency shutdown is needed. Test the operation of the air shutoff. It is not necessary for the engine to be operating in order to test the shutoff.
- To activate the air shutoff, pull knob (1).
A plate that is inside of the apparatus will cover the air inlet. This prevents air from entering the inlet manifold.
Reset lever (2) should move to the "CLOSED" position. If this fails to occur, investigate the problem. See the Service Manual, "Disassembly and Assembly" topic.
DO NOT attempt to operate the engine if the air shutoff will not activate.
Note: The air shutoff must be reset before the engine can be started.
- To reset the air shutoff, move reset lever (2) to the "OPEN" position.
