ADJUST AND FINALIZE ASSEMBLY
Ohmmeter Hook-up:
1. Place transaxle in D (Drive). Use ohmmeter or continuity tester to check for continuity across terminals on switch. If no continuity is present, loosen mounting bolts and rotate switch to achieve continuity.
2. Tighten switch to case bolts. After switch to case bolts have been tightened, check continuity.
- Torque: 14 Nm (124 lb in)
NOTE: DVM with audible continuity test is preferred. Do not stick probe in terminal hole; use male terminals on switch or faulty readings could exist.
