Nautilus Reverse Sensing Switch Adjustment:
Note:
The heel end of the directional control pedal, when
in neutral, must be set to 0.75 in (1,9 cm) inch above
the operator compartment fl oor before performing this
adjustment.
1. Slightly loosen the neutral switch mounting fasteners so
that the switch can be repositioned by hand. (See Fig. 1)
The adjustment can be monitored by listening to the sound
of the switch as it opens and closes.
2. Adjust the switch body so that the switch is already
activated when the directional control pedal is in neutral
and stays activated when the pedal is pushed in the
forward direction. The switch should close immediately
upon moving the pedal into the reverse direction. It is
important that only a very small amount of reverse pedal
movement closes the switch.
It is important that the switch reacts quickly in reverse
otherwise the vehicle will have to travel too fast in reverse
before the rear squeegee is raised or may not raise at all
when moving in reverse at low speed.
3. Ensure that the switch activates correctly when the
directional control pedal is pushed slightly forward
and released and when pushed slightly in reverse and
released.
4. Tighten the switch fasteners and retest.
