The PTO switch is located in the control panel on the left
side of the operator (Fig. 328).
Fig 328 DSC-3150
When the PTO switch is activated, mechanical
connections are made between various terminals. One
terminal is connected to the wire that goes directly to the
electric clutch. When the PTO is pulled out to the “ON”
position, voltage ows to the electric clutch which causes
it to engage. When the switch is pushed in to the “OFF”
position, current ows through the PTO switch to the
Park Brake switch to complete the safety circuit to start
the unit.
6. Replace the switch if your test results do not
correspond with those given in Figure 329, above.
7. Mount the PTO switch back into the control panel
and reinstall the wiring harness.
