  • Page 95: Alternator, Kohler

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Alternator (Kohler) The stator generates 25 amps of alternating current to charge the battery. How It Works Whenever a magnet passes by a coil of wire on an iron core, electricity is produced. The amount will depend on the thickness of wire, the number of windings on each coil, the strength of the magnet, and the speed at which the magnet is moving.
  • Page 96: Regulator/Rectifior

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Regulator/Rectifier The regulator/rectifier prevents battery boiling by shutting off the current when the battery has reached 14.7 volts. How It Works The voltage regulator rectifies the current so that the battery sees only positive current and voltage. The voltage level across the battery is very near constant because the battery has very low impedance.
  • Page 97: Clutch,Electric

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Clutch Electric This clutch electrically controls the engagement and disengagement of the PTO pulley. How It Works The PTO clutch is composed of three major components: the field, the clutch plate, and the friction plate. The clutch plate always turns with the engine. The field is a coil of wire on an iron core which becomes an electro-magnet when power is applied.

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Electric PTO Clutch Removal Rotate the clutch assembly until the anchor will clear the lower clutch guard. Then, slide the clutch assembly off of the crankshaft while holding Remove the PTO clutch anchor bolt. the 2 clutch halves together (Figure 137). Remove the 4 bolts securing the PTO clutch guard and remove the guard (Figure 135).
  • Page 99: Solenoid

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Solenoid The solenoid’s purpose is simply to protect the ignition switch from the high current drawn by the starter motor. How It Works The solenoid has really only two parts. One is a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. Whenever 12 volts is applied to the coil, it becomes a magnet.
  • Page 100: Starter Electric

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Starter Electric The starter motor pushes the starter pinion into engagement with the flywheel, then rotates the starter motor to start the engine. How It Works The starter motor is really just a collection of simple parts: FIELD: A coil of wire on an iron core that becomes an electromagnet when current is applied.
  • Page 101: Switch Pto/Clutch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Switch PTO/Clutch Typically used to turn on the electric blade clutch and to function as part of the safety interlock system. How It Works Contacts inside this DPDT switch electrically connect various terminals. It is actually just two SPDT switches tripped by a single lever.
  • Page 102: Brake Switch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Brake Switch Senses the position of the parking brake handle. Insures that the parking brake is applied on start up and that the parking brake is released before operating the unit. How It Works When the brake is applied, both sets of contacts are closed.
  • Page 103: Interlock Module

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Interlock Module The interlock module monitors the status of the safety switch and prevents the engine from running if an unsafe condition exists. How It Works When the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position, B+ to power the module is supplied to the blue wire from the “A”...
  • Page 104: Hourmeter

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Hourmeter The hourmeter keeps track of the amount of hours the engine has been running. How It Works When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, power is supplied to the + terminal of the hourmeter from the “A”...
  • Page 105: Motion Control Switch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Motion Control Switch There are two motion control switches - one for each lever. They sense the position of the motion control levers. How It Works Each motion control switch has two pairs of contacts - one normally open, one normally closed. When the control handles are out, the contacts connected to the light blue wires are closed providing a ground for the start solenoid.
  • Page 106: Key Switch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Key Switch Purpose The key switch provides proper switching of the start, run, stop, and interlock circuits. How It Works Detents inside the switch give it three positions: “OFF”, “RUN”, and “START”. The “START” position is spring loaded so the switch returns to the “RUN” position when the key is released.
  • Page 107: Seat Switch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Seat Switch To sense when the operator is in position on the seat. How It Works The seat switch is mounted to a spring loaded link so that the switch contacts are open when there is no operator on the seat.
  • Page 108: Mercury Switch

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Purpose Mercury Switch To shut the engine down when the tilt limit has been exceeded. How It Works A small amount of mercury is contained in the switch. When the tilt angle of the unit is less than 60°, the mercury connects the contacts in the switch.
