Swisher ZT18542 Lawn Mower User Manual

A neutral switch is located at the lower end of both
drive control handles and is activated when the handles
are outward in the neutral position. Check that the
plunger buttons on both switches are depressed at least
3/8 inch. Loosening the two mounting screws and
sliding the switch to the side can adjust these.
Ohmmeter should go to zero when checking continuity
across switch terminals with plungers depressed.
With PTO switch in the
off position, meter should
go to zero when checking
continuity across these
two terminals.
If any of the switches in this circuit tested bad, install a
new one and perform Test #4 again. If all switches are
good, a connecting wire must be at fault. Don’t move
past Test #4 until it assures a good circuit. When you do
get good results, hook all wires back to original position
and try the ignition switch again. If no results, you will
need to replace the ignition switch.
This panel is located
right in front of the
battery. It is accessible
by removing the plate
below the front edge of
the seat.
