Adjustments

Parking Brake Switch

The parking brake switch is a normally open proximity
switch that mounts to the frame bracket used to attach
the parking brake lever assembly (Fig. 17). The sensing
plate for the brake switch is a tab on the parking brake
lever assembly. The Toro Electronic Controller (TEC)
monitors the operation of the parking brake switch.
When the parking brake is not applied, the tab on the
parking brake lever is positioned near the target end of
the parking brake switch causing the switch to close.
The tab on the parking brake lever is moved away from
the switch when the parking brake is applied causing the
switch to open.
Adjustment
1. When the parking brake is not applied, the gap be-
tween the parking brake switch and the tab on the park-
ing brake lever should be 0.125" (3.2 mm) (Fig. 17).
2. If gap is incorrect, loosen jam nuts that secure switch
to frame bracket. Position switch with jam nuts to allow
correct gap between switch and brake lever tab. Tighten
jam nuts to secure adjustment. Jam nuts should be
torqued from 162 to 198 in- -lb (18.4 to 22.3 N- -m). After
jam nuts are tightened, make sure that clearance be-
tween head of parking brake switch and tab on the park-
ing brake lever has not changed.
3. After adjustment to the parking brake switch, use the
Diagnostic Display to verify that parking brake switch
and circuit wiring are functioning correctly (see Diagnos-
tic Display in the Troubleshooting section of this chap-
ter).
