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.
Testing
1.
Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2.
Verify the conditions in the table.
3.
There should not be continuity between any of the
switch terminals and ground.
