Cutting Deck Raise and Lower Switches<br />

The deck raise and lower switches are normally open<br />

proximity switches that are located under the console<br />

housing (Fig. 56). These identical switches are mounted<br />

in opposite directions so their circuit logic differs. The actuator<br />

for the switches is on the center deck lift/lower lever.<br />

The raise and lower switches are used in<br />

conjunction with the down latching relay to provide current<br />

to the PTO switch.<br />

The deck raise switch is closed when the center deck lift/<br />

lower lever is either in the neutral (center) position or<br />

pushed to the lower (forward) position. If the center deck<br />

lift/lower lever is pulled to the raise (rear) position, the<br />

deck raise switch opens.<br />

The deck lower switch is closed when the center deck<br />

lift/lower lever is pushed to the lower (forward) position.<br />

If the center deck lift/lower lever is in either the neutral<br />

(center) position or the raise (rear) position, the deck<br />

lower switch remains open.<br />

Once the down latching relay is energized by lowering<br />

the cutting deck, the cutting deck raise switch and diode<br />

D3 provide a latching circuit to keep the relay energized.<br />

Testing<br />

1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck,<br />

stop engine, engage parking brake and remove key<br />

from the ignition switch.<br />

2. Remove console cover and locate cutting deck raise<br />

or lower switch to be tested. Disconnect switch connector<br />

from machine wiring harness.<br />

10. Lock nut (2 used)<br />

3. Check switch continuity by connecting a multimeter<br />

(ohms setting) across the switch connector terminals.<br />

4. The raise switch should be closed (continuity) when<br />

the center deck lift/lower lever is in the neutral position.<br />

As the lift/lower lever is slowly pulled back, the raise<br />

switch should open (no continuity) after the lever has removed<br />

all free play (with no spool movement in lift/lower<br />

control valve) but before the deck is lifted.<br />

5. The lower switch should be open (no continuity)<br />

when the center deck lift/lower lever is in the neutral<br />

position. As the lift/lower lever is slowly pushed forward,<br />

the lower switch should close (continuity) before the lever<br />

reaches full forward travel.<br />

6. For switch adjustment procedure, see Cutting Deck<br />

Raise and Lower Switches in the Adjustments section of<br />

this chapter.<br />

7. Connect switch to wiring harness. Install console<br />

cover to machine.<br />
