1. Starter solenoid
2. Hex nut – coil post (2 each)
3. Positive (+) battery cable
4. Wire harness
The starter solenoid is located on the right side frame rail under the operator seat.
Refer to Figure 79 for this procedure.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting unit (or attachment),
engage the parking brake, set the key switch to the O
the key from the key switch.
2. Raise the seat.
3. Disconnect negative battery cable from battery and then disconnect positive
battery cable; refer to
4. Disconnect the wires and cables from the starter solenoid.
5. Use multimeter (ohms setting) and check the continuity of the starter solenoid
across the contact posts. Resistance across the contact posts should be
infinite ohms (no continuity).
6. Apply 12 VDC across the solenoid coil posts to energize the solenoid. The
solenoid should "click" as it is energized. While energized, resistance across
the contact posts should be less than 1 ohm (continuity).
7. Remove voltage from solenoid coil posts. The solenoid should "click" as
it de-energized. Make sure resistance across the contact posts is infinite
ohms (no continuity).
