Wing Switch
The wing switch is closed with the wing cutting unit
lowered and open when wing cutting unit is raised.
IMPORTANT: The wing switches have three (3) ter-
minals. Make sure the wires are connected to the
“COMMON” and “N.O.” terminals.
Test the switch by disconnecting the wiring connector
for
the switch and connecting a continuity tester across
the terminals. With the engine running and the P.T.O.
DISENGAGED (OFF), raise and lower the affected wing
cutting unit while watching the continuity tester. With the
wing raised, there should be no continuity. When the
wing is lowered there should be continuity.
