Neutral And Mow Switches - Toro Greensmaster 3150 Service Manual

Neutral and Mow Switches

The neutral and mow switches are used to determine
when the functional control lever is in the NEUTRAL or
MOW position. These switches are identical and are
normally open reed switches. They close when the ac-
tuator comes in close proximity to the switch. The
switches are attached to the functional control lever
bracket under the console panel (Fig. 14). The actuator
is attached to the functional control lever.
Testing
1. Park machine on a level surface. Make sure the en-
gine and ignition switch are OFF.
2. Remove console from right side of operator seat.
3. Disconnect electrical connectors to both switches.
Check continuity of both switches by connecting a multi-
meter (ohms setting) across the connector terminals.
4. Place the functional control lever in the NEUTRAL
position. The NEUTRAL switch should be closed (conti-
nuity) and the MOW switch should be open (Fig. 14).
5. Place the functional control lever in the MOW posi-
tion. The NEUTRAL switch should be open and the
MOW switch should be closed (continuity) (Fig. 14).
6. The distance between the sensing end of each
switch and the traction bracket should be from 0.725 to
0.775 inch (18.4 to 19.7 mm) (Fig. 15).
7. To adjust or install actuator, place functional control
lever in the NEUTRAL position. Position actuator in le-
ver until the NEUTRAL switch just closes and then rotate
actuator two (2) complete turns closer to the NEUTRAL
switch.
8. When adjusting the switches or actuator, torque jam
nuts from 40 to 60 in- -lb (4.5 to 6.7 N- -m).
9. After switch or actuator adjustment, check continuity
of both switches and interlock operation (See Verify In-
terlock System Operation in the Service and Repairs
section of this chapter). Readjust switch or actuator if
necessary.
10.Install console to right side of operator seat.
