Troubleshooting
Studying the operating characteristics preceding an
electrical failure will help in identifying the area of diffi-
culty. Try to isolate the failure to a specific functional
system; then check that area, repairing one component
at a time. Attempting to repair two systems at once will
lead to confusion.
CAUTION
Remove all jewelry, especially rings and
watches, before doing any electrical trou-
bleshooting. Disconnect battery cables un-
less the test requires battery voltage.
NOTE: The interlock switches are described as nor-
mally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). The NC-NO
description indicates the switch contact position with the
switch installed in the machine with MOW OFF,
TRANSMISSION in NEUTRAL, and OPERATOR OFF
of seat. Should the machine being repaired have these
components by-passed, they should be reconnected for
proper troubleshooting and safety.
For effective troubleshooting and repairs, you must
have a good understanding of the electrical circuits and
components used. Tools such as a volt/ohm multimeter
will help find problems in the circuitry.
