Parking Brake Switch
The parking brake switch is a normally open proximity
switch that mounts to the frame bracket used to attach
the parking brake lever assembly (Fig. 30). The sensing
plate for the brake switch is a tab on the parking brake
lever assembly. The Toro Electronic Controller (TEC)
monitors the operation of the parking brake switch.
When the parking brake is not applied, the tab on the
parking brake lever is positioned near the target end of
the parking brake switch causing the switch to close.
The tab on the parking brake lever is moved away from
theswitch when the parkingbrake isappliedcausing the
switch to open.
Adjustment

tween the parking brake switch and the tab on the park-
ing brake lever should be 0.125” (3.2 mm) (Fig. 30).

jam nuts are tightened, make sure that clearance be-
tween headof parking brake switch and tabon thepark-
