Neutral Proximity (Magnetic) Switch

Purpose

The neutral proximity switch ensures the traction control
lever is in the neutral/stop position when starting the
unit. It is a magnetic type switch and it must be in close
proximity to the traction control lever bolt to close the
contacts (Fig. 0816).

Location

The neutral proximity switch is located under the center
panel of the control panel. The drive handle and the
center panel must be removed to access the neutral
switch (Fig. 0817).

How It Works

The neutral proximity switch has a sense zone which is
the magnetic portion on the switch. A bolt located on the
traction control lever aligns with the sense zone in the
neutral/stop position to magnetically close the contacts
in the switch (Fig. 0818).
