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
con
tinuity tester or ohm meter between the two leads of
the switch.
2. With the axle in neutral or hi range, the switch should
sho
w no continuity. With the axle in low range the switch
should show continuity.
NOTE: For proper operation, the switch must be
scr
ewed 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.

Backlap/Mow Variable Control Switch
The backlap/mow variable reel speed control switch is
normally open (N.O.) with the variable reel speed con-
trol in neutral position. This prevents the cutting units
from engaging with the variable speed control set to
neutral. The switch closes when the variable reel speed
control is moved to the mow or backlap position, which
pushes the switch button in.
1. Disconnect the switch wire connector and install a
con
tinuity tester or ohm meter between the two leads of
the switch.
2. With the variable reel speed control in the neutral
po
sition, the switch should show no continuity. When the
variable reel speed control is moved into the mow or
backlap position, the switch should show continuity.
NOTE: For proper operation, the switch must be
scr
ewed all the in. Debris in the switch could cause the
switch to not open and close properly.
