How It Works
This single pole plunger (normally open) type switch
has two terminals. When the motion control handles
are in the neutral position (handles in the out position),
it pushes on the plunger, closing the contact and
connecting the terminals (Fig. 497).

Testing

1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. Use a VOM, check first to ensure there is no
continuity between the terminals, plunger out.
3. With the plunger pushed in, there should continuity
between the terminals.
