10. Disconnect the 6 gauge black wire from the negative post of the battery before reconnecting the wires
to the solenoid.
11. Reconnect the solenoid. See Solenoid Installation, Section 12, Page 12-17. See also following
WARNING.
∆ WARNING
• Incorrect wiring could result in severe injury or death.
• Diode and solenoid connections must have correct polarity.
• Keep all persons clear of engine belts when making final connections.
TEST PROCEDURE 7 – LOCKOUT CAM LIMIT SWITCH
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
This switch is located on the Forward/Reverse switch assembly. A black wire and a green wire are connected
to this limit switch.
1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels and disconnect the bat-
tery cables, negative cable (–) first.
2. Check for proper wiring and tight connections.
3. Set the multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms). Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the common (COM)
terminal of the limit switch. Place the black (–) probe on the normally open (NO) terminal of the switch.
Without 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 11-32, Page 11-29).
4. 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.
