Reel Engage/Disengage Switch - Toro Reelmaster 5010- H Service Manual

Reel Engage/Disengage Switch

The reel engage/disengage switch is used to allow the
cutting units to operate. An indicator light on the switch
identifies when the engage/disengage switch is en-
gaged. The reel engage/disengage switch is mounted
on the control panel (Fig. 39). The Toro Electronic Con-
troller (TEC) monitors the operation of the reel engage/
disengage switch.
NOTE: To raise or lower the cutting units, the operator
seat has to be occupied. Also, to lower the cutting units,
the traction speed has to be in LOW (mow) range.
Testing
NOTE: Before disconnecting the reel engage/disen-
gage switch for testing, the switch and its circuit wiring
should be tested as a TEC input with the InfoCenter Dis-
play (see Diagnostics Screen (PTO item) in the InfoCen-
ter Display section of this chapter). If the InfoCenter
Display verifies that the engage/disengage switch and
circuit wiring are functioning correctly, no further switch
testing is necessary. If the InfoCenter Display deter-
mines that the engage/disengage switch and circuit wir-
ing are not functioning correctly, proceed with
engage/disengage switch testing using the following
steps.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, lower the cutting units and stop the en-
gine. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Remove control arm covers to gain access to en-
gage/disengage switch (see Control Arm in the Service
and Repairs section of Chapter 6 - Chassis).
3. Disconnect wire harness connector from the en-
gage/disengage switch.
4. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the
switch functions can be tested to determine whether
continuity exists between the various terminals for each
switch position. The reel engage/disengage switch ter-
minals are marked as shown in Figure 40. The circuitry
of this switch is shown in the chart below. Verify continu-
ity between switch terminals.

5. Replace reel engage/disengage switch if testing de-
termines that it is faulty.
6. If engage/disengage switch tests correctly and cir-
cuit problem still exists, check circuit wire harness (see
Electrical Schematic and Circuit Drawings in Chapter 9
- Foldout Drawings).
7. After reel engage/disengage switch testing is com-
pleted, connect wire harness connector to the reel en-
gage/disengage switch. Install control arm cover to
machine (see Control Arm in the Service and Repairs
section of Chapter 6 - Chassis).
