7.7.5 NEUTRAL START SWITCH
The Neutral Start Switch (A) must be closed
before the engine can be started.
The switch is closed when the Neutral Interlock
on the pump is activated by positioning the GSL
into N-DETENT, and locking the steering wheel
in CENTER position.
When the switch closes, and the machine starts
and runs, the brakes continue to be applied to
the drive wheels as park brake solenoid 3 is
energized preventing brake release.
The Neutral Start Switch is located on the frame
adjacent to the hydrostatic transmission.
a. Check that electrical connections are good at
Neutral Start Switch (A).
b. Check that the plunger of switch is fully
compressed when the steering is locked, and
the GSL is fully in N-DETENT. Adjust switch
support if required as follows:
1. Loosen nut (B), and adjust support (C) as
required.
2. Tighten nut (B).
IMPORTANT
Do not over-adjust switch support, as this
will prevent pintle arms from locking.
