separate wire harness connectors.
3. Move PTO lever to the ON position and remove
capscrew and locknut holding switch against mounting
bracket.
4. Install new switch with capscrew and locknut. Move
PTO lever to OFF position. When lever is in its normal,
released position, the switch arm must bend about 1/2
inch (13 mm). If switch arm does not bend 1/2 inch
(13 mm), bend the mounting bracket to get the correct
adjustment.

connector. With PTO lever in forward (ON) position, the
switch circuit should have no continuity. If there is con-
tinuity, check switch installation. If there is no continuity,
go to next step.
6. Move PTO lever to OFF position. When PTO lever is
in its normal, released position, the PTO switch should
have continuity. If there is no continuity, check switch
installation. If there is continuity, go to next step.

over grease. Push wire harness connectors together.
