Neutral Safety Switch
Most MV-3 controls are equipped with a neutral safety switch.
With the Control in NEUTRAL, connect one wire of the tester to the com-
mon terminal and one wire to the “NC” (Normally Closed) Terminal. The
test light MUST light.
Connect the Neutral Safety Switch between the ignition switch (start lead)
and the starter solenoid. (See Figure 9.) Use terminals with insulators to
insure against an electrical short circuit.
Cable Path
Run the cables, which are connected to the control, back to the throttle
and shift location of the engine and drive.
The cables should run as straight as possible, avoiding any sharp bends.
Make no bends in the cable of less than 8 inch (203.2 mm) radius.
