Turn master switch to on(large switch to the right of the light switch,
has a
curve on one end), you should hear a buzz indicating low air pressure)
then push
(sometimes turn then release, some have been modified with a spring
loaded turn
to start switch)the start button located low and to the right of the
steering
column. After sitting for a while my deuce usually starts after 5 to 7
seconds of
cranking. The buzzer should go off once the pressure in the tanks has
reached 60
PSI which is the minimum safe level for the braking system.
Hope this helps,
