Groundsmaster 4000--D/4010--DPage 5 -- 24Electrical System
PTO Switch
ThePTOswitchis located on the console arm (Fig.23).
The PTO switch is pulled up to engage the PTO and
pushed in to disengage the PTO.
The TEC--5001 controller monitors the position of the
PTO switch (up or down). Using inputs from the PTO
switch and other switches in the interlock system, the
TEC--5001 controller controls the energizing of the hy-
draulic solenoid valves used to drive the cutting deck
motors.
NOTE: To engage the PTO, the seat has to be occu-
pied, traction speed has to be in Low range (4WD) and
the cutting decks have to be fully lowered.
Testing
1. Beforedisconnecting the PTOswitchfor testing,the
switch and its circuit wiring should be tested as a TEC
input with the Diagnostic Display (see Diagnostic Dis-
playintheTroubleshootingsectionofthischapter).Ifthe
Diagnostic Display verifies that the PTO switch and cir-
cuit wiring are functioning correctly, no further switch
testingisnecessary.If,however,theDisplaydetermines
that the PTO switch and circuit wiring are not function-
ing correctly, proceed with test.
2. Make sure ignition switch is OFF. Remove key from
ignition switch.
3. Disassemble console arm to gain access to PTO
switch (see Console Arm Disassembly in the Service
and Repairs section of Chapter 7 -- Chassis).
4. Disconnect harness electrical connector from the
PTO switch.

6. If PTO switch tests correctly and circuit problem still
exists, check wire harness (see Electrical Schematics
and Wire Harness Drawings in Chapter 10 -- Foldout
Drawings).
7. Aftertesting is completed, connect the wire harness
connector to the PTO switch.
8. Assembleconsolearm(see ConsoleArmAssembly

sis).
