TESTING THE SAFETY SWITCH
NOTE
A multimeter is a must for this section. If any of
the following tests do not match, replace the
safety switch.
1. Remove the vacuum bag or blower chute from
the unit.
2. Set the multimeter to the Ohms position.
3. Make certain the multimeter is working prop-
erly. Hold both test probes apart and check the
meter display. There will be an O.L. (open line)
reading. Touch the probes together. There
should be a 0.00.
4. Disconnect the ground magneto wire connec-
tor. See Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7.
5. With the safety switch plunger up, place one
probe into the end of the connector with the
wire running to the safety switch. Place the
other probe on the connector at the end of the
frame ground wire. There will be continuity.
See Figure 4-8.
Figure 4-8.
6. With the safety switch plunger depressed,
place one probe into the end of the connector
with the wire running to the safety switch.
Place the other probe on the connector at the
end of the frame ground wire. There will be no
continuity. See Figure 4-9.
Figure 4-9.
NOTE
If any of the above tests do not match, the
safety switch is defective. Recheck the switch
to make certain that it is defective. Replace if
defective.
