I picked up an Indak ignition switch Part #7-01854 at Napa today to install on my 706D forklift. I believe the AC 170 tractor & maybe others use this same switch. My problem is I did not label my wires when I dis-assembled it and now I can't remember how to hook it back up. The switch is marked with letters on the back, but I don't know what they stand for. I am hoping that someone on here can tell me what these letters beside each terminal(5) mean:

Thanks.

I would guess

Starter

Battery

R???

Accessory

Ignition

Like I said I am guessing, you could always use an ohmmeter to see what each terminal does when you turn the key

The 854 indak is a crank start type switch. Here's what the letters mean:
S- Solenoid
B- Battery
R- Regulator
A- Accessory
I- Ignition
