This single pole plunger (normally open) type switch
has two terminals. When the motion control handles are
in the neutral position (handles in the out position), it
pushes on the plunger, closing the contact and connect-
ing the terminals (Fig. 657).
1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. Using a VOM or test light, check fi rst to ensure there
is no continuity between the terminals, plunger out.
3. With the plunger pushed in, there should be contin-
uity between the terminals.
Used to ensure the motion control handles are in neutral
to start the unit. It is actuated by moving the motion
control handles to the neutral position (handles outward).
