INTERLOCK SWITCHES
The function of these switches is to allow
the engine to start when the following start¬
ing conditions exist.
1. Operator seated in tractor's seat.
2. Clutch/Brake pedal depressed.
3. Front PTO switch in OFF position.
4. Rear PTO (if tractor so equipped) lever
is OFF.
The mechanism controlling condition, No.
1, above is in the engine ignition circuit. The
mechanisms controlling conditions, No. 2, 3
and 4, above are in the engine cranking cir¬
cuit. Therefore, it is important to remember
that ALL these starting conditions must exist
before the engine will start. Also, if starting
conditions, Nos. 2, 3 and 4, exist the engine
will crank over using the starter but will not
start if starting condition, No. 1, is not exist¬
ing.
TESTING INTERLOCK SWITCHES:
1. Remove wires from switch, connect test
light or ohmmeter to switch terminals.
2. The following results should be ob¬
tained.
The electrical system is protected by a 20
AMP circuit breaker which is mounted on the
backside of the instrument panel near the
battery.
If this fails, the engine will not start or run.
The circuit breaker can not be reset and must
be replaced if it fails. When connecting the
replacement, make sure the starting
solenoid wire is connected to the "BAT" ter¬
minal and the positive side of the ammeter is
connected to the "AUX" terminal as shown in
figure 7.3.
FIG. 7.3-CIRCUIT BREAKER WIRING
1. Remove battery cables, connect an ohm-
meter between ammeter terminals and
ground. You should get no reading, if a read¬
ing occurs ammeter is grounded.
