Parking Brake And Transport/Mow Switches; Fusible Link Harness - Toro 30821 Service Manual

Parking Brake and Transport/Mow Switches

The switches used for the parking brake and transport/
mow are the same, normally closed switch. The parking
brake switch is located under the dash cover and opens
when the parking brake lever is engaged. The transport/
mow switch is located under the floor plate and opens
when the transport/mow slide is in the transport position.
1. Make sure the engine is off. Locate switch for testing.
2. Disconnect electrical connector from the switch.
3. Check the continuity of the switch by connecting a
multimeter (ohms setting) across the connector termi-
nals.
4. When the switch plunger is extended there should be
continuity between the switch terminals.
5. When the switch plunger is depressed, there should
be no continuity between the switch terminals.
6. Reconnect switch connector.

Fusible Link Harness

The Groundsmaster 3500- D uses three (3) fusible links
for circuit protection. These fusible links are located in
a harness that connects the starter B+ terminal to the
main wire harness. If any of these links should fail, cur-
rent to the protected circuit will cease. Refer to wire har-
ness drawings in Chapter 8 - Electrical Diagrams for
additional fusible link information.
Use a multimeter to make sure that continuity exists be-
tween each terminal pin in connector P1 and connector
J1 at the starter (Fig. 26). If any of the fusible links are
open, replace the complete harness.
