4. Screw the new switch through the mounting bracket
until the switch button is about 1/16 in. (1.6 mm)
shorter than the top of the seat return spring pin.
Install the boot into the mount grooves.
5. Carefully release the seat to its normally down
position, but do not sit or apply force on the seat.

75 in-lb. (8 N-m) against the mounting bracket.

continuity. If there is no continuity, repeat steps 4-7.
If there is continuity, proceed to step 9.
9. Plug the switch connectors together.

Replacing the Traction Switch

1. Pivot the seat forward and secure it with the support
rod.
2. Unplug the switch connectors from the traction
switch installed in the valve bank bonnet on the
selector valve section (Figure 39).
3. Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the switch from the
mounting bracket.
4. Move the shift selector to Neutral.
5. Partially screw the new switch into the bonnet.
6. Connect a continuity tester or ohm meter to the
switch terminals and continue to turn the switch in
until there is continuity. Then rotate the switch in
1/2 turn (180 degrees).
7. Tighten the jam nut to 75 in.-lb. (8 N-m) against the
bonnet.
Important: The switch threads will be damaged
if the jam nut is overtightened.
8. Connect a continuity tester or ohm meter to the
switch terminals and move the shift selector to the
#1 and #2 positions. There should not be continuity
when the shift selector is in either of these positions.
If there is continuity, repeat steps 5 and 6.
9. Move the shift selector lever to Neutral and connect
a continuity tester or ohm meter to the switch
terminals. The switch should show continuity. This
means the switch is operating correctly.
