INSTALLING AND TESTING NEUTRAL
STARTING SWITCH (FIG. 18)
a. Installation and Tests
Install the concave spring (cupped) washer
over the threads of the neutral starting switch
so that the concave (cupped) side of the washer
is towards the transmission case. Install the
"0"
ring seal over the threads of the neutral
starting switch and up against the washer.
Screw the neutral starting switch into the case
until the spring washer contacts the transmis-
sion case, then tighten one-third of a turn.
Check operation of switch by checking the
low (1) and reverse (R) button over-travel
(must be equal for proper cable adjustment).
Should switch still fail to function, it is recom-
mended that the following modification be per-
formed to the neutral starting switch.
(a) Remove the neutral starting switch and
machine %
2
" from the seating surface of the
switch as illustrated in Fig. 19.
(b) Clean the switch, replace the concave
(cupped) washer and "0" ring seal, and install
the switch.
NOTE:
The switch must be tight enough to pre-
vent oil leakage. If it is not, add a thin washer
and retighten.
Refill transmission to proper level as out-
lined in Lubrication Section. Check starter op-
eration by pushing the various push buttons
and returning to neutral.
CAUTION
Neutral starting switch failure may occur due to
very high amperage current flowing through the
switch. This results when a juniper wire or re-
mote control starting switch is improperly con-
nected, when placed in the circuit when taking
compression readings.
It is important that the jumper leads be con-
nected to the battery terminal and ignition ter-
minal of the starter relay.
b.
Switch Lever Alignment
Remove the neutral starting switch and check
the location of the neutral starting switch lever
inside the transmission, as illustrated in Figure
20.
The lever should be dead center of the start-
er switch mounting hold in the transmission
(when lever is in neutral detent). In instances
where it is not aligned properly, install a new
valve body.

BAND ADJUSTMENTS

The kickdown band adjusting screw is located
on the left side of the transmission case (Fig.
22).

mately 5 turns. Check for freeness of adjusting
