Reel Enable/Disable Switch The enable/disable switch is located on the control panel (Fig. 36). This switch is pulled out to engage the cutting units and pushed in to disengage the cutting units. The TEC controller monitors the position of the enable/ disable switch (pulled out or pushed in).
Mow/Transport Switch The switch used for the mow/transport slide is a nor- mally closed switch. The switch opens when the mow/ transport slide is in the transport position. The switch is located under the floor plate (Fig 39). The TEC controller monitors the position of the mow/ transport switch (open or closed).
Seat Switch The seat switch is normally open and closes when the operator seat is occupied. The seat switch is located dir- ectly under the seat. The TEC controller monitors the position of the seat switch (open or closed). Using inputs from the seat switch and other switches in the interlock system, the TEC controller controls the energizing of the engine start relay, the fuel stop solenoid and fuel pump, the pro-...
Backlap Switch The backlap switch is a normally open ball switch that is in the normal, open state when the backlap lever is in the mow position. When the backlap lever is in the backlap position, the switch closes. The backlap switch is at- tached to the hydraulic mow control manifold located on the left side of the machine under the hinged access panel in front of the operator’s seat (Fig.
Turn Around Switch (Reelmaster 3555−D and 3575−D) The cutting unit turn around switch is a normally open proximity switch that closes when the front right cutting unit (cutting unit #5) is in the turn−around position. The turn around switch is attached to a bracket outside the front right lift arm pivot pin.
Engine Temperature Sender The engine temperature sender is located above the al- ternator, in the thermostat housing (Fig. 43). The resist- ance of the temperature sender reduces as the engine coolant temperature increases. The TEC controller uses input from the temperature sender to control the high temperature warning light on the operator’s control panel (on or off).
