CIRCUIT OPERATION
The [1][2]Power Distribution Center (PDC) supplies battery voltage to the engine starter motor solenoid on circuit T40 when the coil side of the engine starter motor relay energizes.

Circuit A0 from the battery is triple crimped at the positive battery post. One branch of circuit A0 (battery positive cable) connects to the engine starter motor. Another branch of circuit A0 supplies voltage to a bus bar in the PDC. Fuse 2 in the PDC connects to the bus bar and protects circuit A2. Circuit A2 splices and connects to the contact side of the engine starter motor relay.

When the ignition switch is in the START position, it connects circuit A1 from fuse 3 in the PDC to circuit A41. Circuit A41 connects to circuit T141 through the clutch pedal position switch. Circuit T141 supplies battery voltage to the coil side of the engine starter motor relay when the operator presses the clutch pedal and the clutch pedal position switch CLOSES. Ground for the coil side of the engine starter motor relay is supplied on circuit T41. This circuit is connected with circuit Z12. Circuit Z12 connects to ground.

When the starter motor relay energizes and the contacts CLOSE, circuit T40 supplies battery voltage to the starter motor solenoid. Circuit A0 from the battery supplies voltage to the starter motor when the solenoid energizes.
