Traction (Neutral) Switch
The traction switch is a normally closed and opens when
traction pedal is depressed in either direction.
IMPORTANT: The traction switch has three (3) ter-
minals. Make sure the wires are connected to the
“COMMON” and “N.O.” terminals.
Test the switch by disconnecting the wires from the
switch terminals and connecting a continuity tester
across the COMMON and N.O. terminals. With the
engine turned off, slowly push the traction pedal in a
forward and reverse direction while watching the conti-
nuity tester. There should be indications that the traction
switch is opening and closing. Allow the traction pedal
to return to neutral. There should be continuity across
the terminals. (See Replacing the Traction Switch in the
Repairs section of this chapter for replacement and
adjustment procedures.)
NOTE: Apply “Loctite 271” or equivalent to threads of
switch screws before installing.
