Neutral Switch - Toro Groundsmaster 3500 30807 Service Manual

Neutral Switch

The neutral switch is a proximity type, normally open
reed switch that closes when the traction pedal is in the
neutral position. The neutral switch is located under the
floor support plate.
1. Disconnect electrical connector from the neutral
switch.
2. Check the continuity of the switch by connecting a
multimeter (ohms setting) across the switch connector
terminals.
3. With the traction pedal in the neutral position, there
should be continuity between the two switch leads.
4. Slowly depress the traction pedal. The continuity tes-
ter should show no continuity as the pedal is moved in
either the forward or reverse direction.
5. Reconnect switch after testing.
