CIRCUIT OPERATION
The Power Distribution Center ([1][2]PDC) supplies battery voltage to the engine starter motor solenoid through circuit T40 when the coil side of the engine starter motor relay energizes. Circuit A1 supplies the battery voltage for the contact side of the relay. Circuit A1 and circuit T40 are protected by a 30 Amp fuse and feeds the contact side of the engine starter motor relay. Both the 30 Amp fuse and the engine starter motor relay are located in the PDC.

The ignition switch supplies battery voltage to the coil side of the engine starter motor relay on circuit A41 when the key is moved to the START position and the operator has pressed the clutch pedal to CLOSE the clutch pedal position switch. Circuit Z1 supplies the ground for the coil side of the engine starter motor relay. When the coil side of the relay energizes, the contacts CLOSE, supplying battery voltage to the engine starter motor solenoid.

Circuit A0 (battery positive cable) supplies battery voltage to the motor of the starter when the solenoid energizes.
