Keychoice™ Reverse Operating System Module - Toro 315-8 User Manual

3. While the engine is running, move the PTO lever
to the "engage" position, on gear shift models,
move the gear shift lever in reverse, and on Hydro
models, move the forward/reverse pedal to
reverse.
4. The engine should stop.
Testing the KeyChoice™ Reverse Operating
System - Manual PTO System - Activated
1. Move the PTO lever to the "disengage" position
and move the gear shift lever to neutral on gear
shift models. Depress the clutch/brake pedal on
the Hydro's.
2. Now start the engine.
3. Move the PTO lever to the "engage" position and
turn the KeyChoice™ key, located around the seat
area.
4. A red light on the dash turns on, indicating the
interlock (Reverse Operating System) is disabled.
5. You should be able to operate the machine in
reverse and the engine/mower will continue to run.
6. Move the PTO lever to the "disengage" position
and the red light should turn off on the dash.
How It Works
Low Voltage - The low voltage portion of the module is
a voltage comparator, checking the charge voltage
from the engine regulator/rectifier system. If the
charge is less than 11 volts D.C., the low voltage
module senses this and activates the indicator lamp on
the dash which will light until the voltage is over 11 volts
D.C.
KeyChoice™ Reverse Operating Module - The
KeyChoice ™ Reverse Operating System Module is
made up of several components, such as diodes and
relays. When it is connected in the circuit, voltage is
applied to certain terminals of the KeyChoice™
Reverse Operating System module from the PTO
switch, reverse switch, and the override switch, which
energizes certain relays in the module. If voltage is not
applied to proper terminals on the KeyChoice™
Reverse Operating System Module, the electric PTO
clutch will stop.

Testing - Low Voltage Testing
Before replacing the Low Voltage/KeyChoice™
Reverse Operating Module, Check the following:
1. Test the battery to make sure it is fully charged
and is in good shape.
2. Next, check the charging system of the engine;
follow the procedure in the appropriate engine
service manual.
3. If the battery checks out and is in good condition
and the charging system checks out and is
charging properly and the battery light on the dash
is on, replace the module. Without specialized
test equipment, it is not practical to test the
module in the field.
