The reel engage switch is a normally open proximity switch. This switch is 1 of
the several inputs for the TEC. The switch is attached to the handle assembly
switch mount bracket (
Figure 104 ).
When the cutting unit is not engaged, the tab on the cutting unit engagement
lever is positioned away from the target end of the reel engage switch so that the
switch remains open. The tab on the reel lever is moved next to the switch when
the cutting unit is engaged causing the switch to close.
Checking the Operation of Reel Engage Switch
Check the operation of reel engage switch with the InfoCenter on the console.
With the key switch in the R
UN
position and the InfoCenter in the diagnostics
menu, choose the Reel Enable and ensure that the switch state changes as
the cutting unit is engaged and released. Further reel engage switch testing is
necessary only if the switch state does not change when using the InfoCenter.
Testing the Reel Engage Switch
1. Park the machine on a level surface and place the traction lever in the
N
EUTRAL
position. Turn the key switch to the O
FF
position and remove the
key from the key switch.
2. Disconnect the battery pack; refer to Connecting the Lithium Battery Pack
(page 5–7) .
3. Remove the console cover from the handle to get access to the reel engage
switch ( Figure 104 ).
4. Disconnect the reel engage switch connector from the machine wire harness.
5. Connect a multimeter (ohms setting) across the switch connector terminals
to check the continuity of the reel engage switch.
6. With the cutting unit drive not engaged, there should not be continuity (infinite
ohms) across the switch terminals.
7. Check that the switch closes (zero ohms) as the cutting unit drive is engaged.
8. Replace the switch if necessary.
Removing and Installing the Reel Engage Switch
1. Disconnect the reel engage switch from the machine wire harness.
2. Remove the 2 washer-head screws and 2 locknuts that mount the switch to
the switch mount bracket on the handle ( Figure 104 ), and remove the switch
from the machine.
Note: For proper operation of reel engage switch, the screws and locknuts
used to secure the reel engage switch are stainless steel. If these fasteners
are replaced, ensure to use correct fasteners.
3. Position the switch to the switch panel and secure with the 2 washer-head
screws and 2 locknuts ( Figure 104 ).
4. Connect the switch to the machine wire harness. Secure the console cover
to the handle.
