On the wiring diagram, the item at C is the start or cranking relay. When all the safety circuits are in the correct position, this relay is grounded by the electronic control module, and when the keyswitch is in the start position, power will go to the starter solenoid and allow engine cranking. The items in the safety circuit are: parking brake switch, seat switch, L/H & R/H travel levers, PTO switch in the off position. The start relays have been known to be problematic and it is located close to the keyswitch.
Download the manual, print the wiring diagram which may be difficult to read. I enlarge diagrams of this type on my printer so I can read them. I do it in sections and then connect them with Scotch tape.
This is the link to the machine that you have mentioned.
