ELECTRICAL General How It Works Note: Interactive Electrical Troubleshooting CD, Form 492-9143 is also available. A relay is an electrically actuated switch. Relays 1. Coil: Terminals 85 and 86 are connected to a coil. Applying 12 volts to these terminals energizes the coil turning it into an electromagnet. 2. Switch: Terminals 30, 87 and 87a are actually part of a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch. Terminal 30 is the common lead.
ELECTRICAL Testing 5. Disconnect voltage and multimeter leads from relay terminals (Fig. 383). 85 87 87a 30 86 Fig 382 relay pin diagram 1. Disconnect the relay from the harness. 2. Verify the coil resistance between terminals 85 and 86 with a multimeter (ohms setting). Resistance should be from 70 to 90 ohms. There should be continuity between terminals 87a and 30. 3. Connect multimeter (ohms setting) leads to relay terminals 30 and 87. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12 VDC to 85.
ELECTRICAL Location Testing The PTO Switch is located on the control panel on the left side of the operator (Fig. 384). 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and turn the ignition to OFF. Remove the key. 2. Remove the 4 screws holding the control panel to the fuel tank. 3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the PTO switch. 4. Press in the locking tabs, on each side of the switch, and pull the switch out of the control panel. 5.
ELECTRICAL 6. Replace the switch if your test results do not correspond with those given in (Fig. 385). 7. Mount the PTO switch back into the control panel and reinstall the wiring harness (Fig. 386). Ignition Switch Purpose The ignition switch makes the proper connections for the starter, accessories, and safety circuits. Violet Location The ignition switch is located on the control panel, to the left side of the operator (Fig. 387).
ELECTRICAL How It Works Neutral Safety Switch Detents inside the switch give it 3 positions: OFF, RUN, and START. The START position is spring loaded so the cylinder automatically returns to RUN once the key is released (Fig. 388). Purpose Used to ensure the motion control handles are in neutral to start the unit. It is activated by moving the motion control handles to the neutral position (handles outward). Location To gain access to the neutral safety switches, remove the panel assembly.
ELECTRICAL Testing 1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness. 2. Using a VOM or test light, check first to ensure there is no continuity between the terminals, plunger out. 3. With the plunger pushed in, there should be continuity between the terminals. Park Brake Switch Purpose Fig 390 PICT-0197 The purpose of the brake switch is to ensure the machine is in neutral and the parking brake is applied before attempting to start the machine.
ELECTRICAL How It Works 2. Using a multimeter, follow the procedures listed below (Fig. 394). When starting, it functions to ensure the park brake is in the ON position. At the same time it allows current to flow through the remainder of the starting safety circuit. When the park brake is released in the (Off position) it bypasses both neutral switches, permitting the control levers to be used, as long as the operator is in the seat to maintain current for the safety circuit (Fig. 393).
ELECTRICAL Location Testing The seat switch is mounted to the frame directly under the seat (Fig. 395). 1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness. 2. Using a VOM or test light, check first to ensure there is no continuity between either terminal, plunger out. 3. With the plunger pushed in, there should be continuity between the terminals.
ELECTRICAL How It Works 2. Remove the 4 bolts mounting the console panel to the frame. The seat delay module circuit board is made up with several different electronic components such as transient voltage suppressor diodes, capacitor, transistors, carbon film resistors, and a relay. The components work together to allow a short term voltage interruption by the seat switch and supplies temporary voltage to the safety circuit to keep the engine running (Fig. 398). Fig 398 DSC-2532 3.
ELECTRICAL Hour Meter How It Works Purpose Since a normal clock might be affected by variations in voltage and current, the hour meter is made up of an electric “winder” and a mechanical clock movement. When power is applied, a coil is energized to wind the movement. The movement unwinds in about 2 seconds. As it finishes its rotation, it re-energizes the coil so that the cycle can start over (Fig. 401).
ELECTRICAL Electric PTO Clutch Coil Resistance Measurement Purpose 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, turn the ignition to the “off” position and remove the ignition key. The electric clutch controls the engagement and disengagement of the Power Take Off (PTO) pulley. 2. Disconnect the clutch harness from the main harness. Location 3. Set the multimeter or volt/ohm meter to check resistance (ohms). The electric clutch is located on the PTO end of the crankshaft. 4.
ELECTRICAL Measuring Clutch Current Draw 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “RUN” position. Turn the PTO switch to the “ON” position. 1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, turn the ignition key to OFF, and remove the key. 2. Disconnect the PTO clutch harness from the main harness. 3. Set the multimeter to check amps (10 amp scale). 8. If the meter reading is 6.5 amps or above, the system is functioning properly. If the meter reading is below 6.5 amps, check the electrical system for problems (i.e.
ELECTRICAL How It Works Testing The solenoid has two primary parts. One is a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. Whenever 12 volts is applied to the coil, it becomes a magnet. The other part is a bar type switch (Fig. 405). 1. Disconnect the solenoid from the wiring harness. 2. With a multimeter (ohms setting), check to ensure that terminals “C” and “D” are open (no continuity) (Figure 20). 3. Apply +12 VDC between terminal “A” and ground terminal “B”.
ELECTRICAL Fuse Block Purpose House the electrical system fuses. Location Located below the control panel on the left hand side of the frame (Fig. 407). A B C Fig 407 PICT-0202 A. Main circuit (30 amp) B. Charge circuit (25 amp) C. Optional head light kit circuit (10 amp) 6 How It Works The fuse block contains the fuses that protect the system from electrical surges.
