Engine is running with PTO engaged. 2. Operator is using the equipment, for example a bucket attachment. 3. Operator gets in position, then uses remote start/stop button to turn truck off while they perform a task. 4. The task is completed, then operator is ready to move the bucket so they use remote start/stop to start the engine. 5.
