Apply the parking brake.

Be careful not to engage the ignition
switch while the engine is running or
you’ll damage the starter.

Check the gear selector. It should
be in neutral.

Set the AUTO MASTER and
AUX MASTER switches to the

switch to the middle position.

AUTO MASTER and AUX MASTER
switches are toggled on. If the light
fails to flash or continues to flash after
