TEST PROCEDURE 7 – LOCKOUT CAM LIMIT SWITCH
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
This limit switch is located on the Forward/Reverse switch assembly. A black wire and a green wire are con-
nected to this limit switch.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock
the wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed (Figure 11-1, Page 11-5). See WARNING "To avoid unin-
tentionally starting..." in General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-2.
3. Check for proper wiring and tight connections.
4. Set the multimeter to 200 Ω (ohms). Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the common (COM) ter-
minal of the limit switch. Place the black (–) probe on the normally open (NO) terminal of the switch. With-
out the lever depressed, the reading should be no continuity. Depress the lever, and the reading should
be continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the limit switch (Figure 11-33, Page 11-28).
5. Check to be sure the lobes on the cam are depressing the lockout cam limit switch when the Forward/
Reverse shifter is in the NEUTRAL position only. The limit switch should make an audible click as it is
depressed. If it does not, check for wear on the cam lobe. If the cam lobe will not activate the limit switch,
replace the cam.
