Axle Hi/Low Switch
The axle hi/low switch is normally open (N.O.) when the
transaxle is in neutral or hi range. This prevents the
cutting units or 4WD from engaging while the transaxle
is neutral or hi range. The switch closes when the axle
shift rod is moved to low range, which pushes the switch
button in.
1. Disconnect the switch wire connector and install a
c
ontinuity tester or ohm meter between the two leads of
the switch.
2. With the axle in neutral or hi range, the switch should
s
how no continuity. With the axle in low range the switch
should show continuity.
NOTE: For proper operation, the switch must be
s
crewed all the way in. Debris in the switch could cause
the switch to not open and close properly. Shift linkage
that is out of adjustment can also cause improper switch
operation.
