Diagnostic Display
Groundsmaster 4300--D machines are equipped with a
TEC controller which controls machine electrical func-
tions. The controller monitors various input switches
(e.g. ignition switch, s eat switch, etc.) and energizes
outputs to actuate solenoids or relays for the requested
machine function.
For the controller to control the machine as desired,
each of the input switches, output solenoids and relays
must be connected and functioning properly.
