and the operator vacates the seat with either the PTO or
the parking brake disengaged, the engine will shut down.

HowItWorks
When the seat is vacated, the switch is open and there
should be NO continuity between the two terminals.
When the seat is occupied, the switch closes and there
should be continuity between the two terminals (Fig.
495).
Testing
1. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness.
2. Using a VOM, check rst to ensure there is NO
continuity between either terminal, plunger out.
3. With the plunger pushed in, there should be
continuity between the terminals.
