Clutch Solenoid

The clutch solenoid is used in conjunction with the trac-

tion interlock switch, the coring head switch assembly

and the interlock lever switches in the Greens Aerator in-

terlock system. When the clutch solenoid is energized,

the solenoid plunger rotates a latch which retains the

traction drive lever in the engaged position for continued

traction drive operation as long as the solenoid is ener-

gized.

Testing

1. Make sure engine is off. Disconnect battery. Unplug

solenoid from machine wire harness.

2. Apply 12 VDC directly across the clutch solenoid

connector terminals. The solenoid should click and the

solenoid shaft should retract. The shaft should stay re-

tracted a

s long as the voltage is applied to the terminals.

3. Remove voltage from solenoid coil posts. The sole-

noid shaft should extend.

4. Replace clutch solenoid if necessary.

5. Reconnect electrical connections to solenoid.

6. Reconnect battery.
