3. Turn to Off: To turn off the equipment, turn the key counter-clockwise to the 'OFF' position and remove it.

Always refer to your equipment's specific operating manual for detailed starting and shutdown procedures.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your keys, observe the following maintenance guidelines:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the keys with a dry cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris.
• Avoid Damage: Do not bend, twist, or use excessive force on the keys. Avoid using them for purposes other than operating ignition switches.
• Proper Storage: Store keys in a dry, safe place away from extreme temperatures or corrosive materials.
• Lubrication: If the ignition switch feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key or directly into the keyhole, as recommended by your equipment manufacturer.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FARWAY keys, consider the following:

• Key Does Not Insert: Ensure you are using the correct key for the ignition switch. Do not force the key. Check for any obstructions in the keyhole.
• Key Does Not Turn: Verify the key is fully inserted. Ensure the steering wheel or other locking mechanisms are not engaged (if applicable to your equipment). The key may be incompatible if it inserts but does not turn.
• Equipment Does Not Start: If the key turns but the equipment does not start, the issue may not be with the key itself. Check your equipment's battery, fuel, and other starting system components as per its owner's manual.
• Damaged Key: If a key is bent or broken, do not attempt to use it as it may damage the ignition switch. Replace with a new key from the pack.

If problems persist after checking these points, contact customer support.
