The reverse switch is located on the right side of the
transmission near the brake (Figure 21).
Provides ground signal to RMC module when the shift
lever is in reverse.
The reverse switch is a metal tang, which is connected
to ground when the reverse lever contacts it.
1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. Using a multimeter, check for continuity between
the switch terminal and ground. With the shift lever
in forward, there should not be continuity.
3. Place the shift lever into reverse. There should be
continuity.
Shuts the engine down if the operator gets off the seat
with the brake not applied.
Disengages the PTO Clutch if the operator gets out of
the seat with the PTO engaged.

The seat switch consists of a pair of normally closed
contacts (Figure 22), which open when the operator
is on the seat. One contact is connected in series to
the magneto through the brake switch. If the operator
vacates the seat while the engine is running, and the
brake released, the contacts close, and the magneto is
grounded, stopping the engine.
The other contact is connected to the relay through the
RMC module. If the operator gets off the seat with the
brake applied and the PTO engaged, the relay coil is
connected to ground, energizing the relay. This opens
the relays, normally closed contacts, disconnecting the
electric clutch from ground, causing it to disengage.
1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. With a multimeter, check for continuity between
the switch terminals and ground. There should be
continuity.
3. Recheck for continuity with someone in the seat.
There should not be continuity,
