power unit.
* This tests the function of the parking brake switch. The parking brake handle should be engaged the minimum amount necessary to activate the parking
brake indicator light on the information gauge. Neutral assist must be off.
^ This tests the function of the neutral switch located on the hydraulic pump. Depending on settings and the age of the power unit, the range for neutral for
the SDLA control may vary. For this test, the SDLA lever should move 2.5 cm (1 inch) or less forward or backward for neutral switch activation (measured at
the top of the lever).
