The traction neutral switch is anormally open proximity
switch that closes when thetractionpedal is in the neu-
tralposition.Theswitchmountstoabracketonthetrac-
tion pump (Fig. 14). The sensing plate for the traction

to the pump control arm.
Adjustment
1. Before adjusting the traction neutral switch, check
andadjusttractionsystemneutralposition(seeTraction
Unit Operator’s Manual).
IMPORTANT: To prevent traction neutral switch
damage, makesure that traction lever bracket does
not contact switch.
2. When the traction leveris in the neutral position,the
gapbetween the headofneutral switchand thetraction
leverbrackets hould befrom0.070” to0.100”(1.8to 2.5
mm) (Fig. 15).
3. If gap is incorrect, loosen jam nuts that secure neu-
tral switch to pump bracket. Position switch with jam
nutstoallowcorrectgapbetweenswitchandtractionle-
ver bracket. Jam nuts should be torqued from 162 to
198 in--lb (18.4 to 22.4 N--m). After jam nuts a re tight-
ened, make sure that clearance between head of neu-
tral switch and traction lever bracket has not changed.
4. After adjustment to the traction neutral switch, use
the Diagnostic Display (see Special Tools in this chap-
ter)toverifythattractionneutralswitchandcircuitwiring
arefunctioningcorrectly (seeTr action NeutralSwitchin
the Component Testing section of this chapter).
