Contactor Switch For Water Temperature
The contactor switch for water temperature is installed in the front cover for the engine. No adjustment to the temperature range of the contactor can be made. The element feels the temperature of the coolant and then operates the micro switch in the contactor when the coolant temperature is too high. The element must be in contact with the coolant to operate correctly. If the cause for the engine being too hot is because of low coolant level or no coolant, the contactor switch will not operate.
CONTACTOR SWITCH FOR WATER TEMPERATUREThe contactor switch is connected to the fuel shut-off solenoid to stop the engine. The switch can also be connected to an alarm system. When the temperature of the coolant lowers to the operating range, the contactor switch opens automatically.Pressure Switch
These type pressure switches are used for several purposes and are available with different specifications. They are used in the oil system and in the fuel system. One use of the switch is to open the circuit between the battery and the fuel shutoff solenoid after the oil pressure is below the pressure specifications of the switch. It also closes when the engine starts.Another use of the switch is to close and activate the battery charging circuit when the pressure is above the pressure specification of the switch. It also disconnects the circuit when the engine is stopped.Some switches of this type have three terminal connections. They are used to do two operations with one switch. They open one circuit and close another with single switch.
PRESSURE SWITCHElectrical Gauges And Sending Units
The electrical gauges and sending units are to operate in electrical balance. Because of this, the voltage and resistance ratings are important to get the correct indications on the gauges. The following chart shows components that operate together. Sending Unit and Gauge for Water Temperature
The position of the pointer is changed by the amount of electrical current that flows through the gauge. The water temperature is felt by bulb (3) of the sending unit. A change in water temperature causes a change of resistance in the sending unit. A change in resistance in the sending unit changes the current flow through the gauge and changes the position of the pointer.

The position of the pointer is changed by the amount of electrical current that flows through the gauge. The oil pressure is felt by the sending unit for the oil pressure gauge. A change in oil pressure causes a change of resistance in the sending unit. A change in resistance in the sending unit changes the current flow through the gauge and changes the position of the pointer.
OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT
1. Connection. 2. Fitting.Engine Protection Panel
The engine protection panel has a magnetic control switch (5) in the panel. Pushing in and holding the reset button (4), while cranking the engine, permits the engine to start. When the oil pressure is above 15 psi (105 kPa), the engine will continue to run after button (4) is released.

CONTACTOR SWITCH FOR WATER TEMPERATURE
OIL PRESSURE SWITCHThe normally open contactor switch for water temperature closes when the temperature of the coolant gets higher than the setting of the switch. The oil pressure switch closes when the pressure of the oil gets lower than the setting of the switch. If either the contactor switch for water temperature or the oil pressure switch is activated, they will trip (activate) the magnetic control switch (5). This will open the circuit between the fuel shutoff solenoid and the battery. With no fuel coming to the engine, the engine will stop. A 14 ampere fuse (6) gives protection to switch (5) if there is too much of a load put on it.
