26. Fuel Level Gage
The fuel level gage (16) is mounted directly on top of the fuel tank and is actuated by an inclosed cork float. Graduations
on the fuel level gage are in fractions of capacity. The capacity of the fuel tank is 42 gallons.
27. Magnetic Switch
The 24-volt magnetic switch is mounted on the compressor side of the battery box. This switch is connected to the
starting button, the batteries, and the starting motor with one grounded connection for radio-field suppression. When the
starter button is pushed in, the core linings of the magnetic switch are energized to pull the magnetic switch plunger to the
contact disk and close the circuit from the batteries to the starting motor.
