Key Features
- OEM-Matched Switching Contacts — Genuine Multiquip construction ensures correct contact resistance and switching performance for the MQS-160 and MQS-185 ignition circuit.
- Three-Position Operation — The three-way design provides Off, On, and Start positions, directly replicating the original switch configuration and wiring interface.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for Multiquip MQS160 studio generator applications; cross-reference part number 006007010406 before ordering to confirm your unit.
- Electrical Integrity at Startup — A worn or failed ignition switch can prevent engine cranking, cause intermittent starting, or leave a generator unable to power down safely — replacing with the correct OEM switch restores full control.
- Critical Safety Component — As the primary operator control for starting and stopping the generator, an authentic ignition switch is essential to safe, predictable machine operation.
The ignition switch is the operator's primary control for starting, running, and shutting down the generator engine. In a three-position switch, the circuit routes electrical current through Off, On, and Start positions — allowing the operator to energize the system and engage the starter motor in a controlled sequence. When an ignition switch wears out or fails internally, symptoms range from hard starting and intermittent no-start conditions to an inability to cut engine power, all of which compromise both productivity and safety on set or at the jobsite.
