Lower/Raise Joystick Switches - Toro Reelmaster 7000-D Service Manual

Lower/Raise Joystick Switches

The cutting unit lower and raise switches are located on
the joystick assembly that is located on the console arm
Fig. 40). When the joystick is pushed forward, the rear
switch is used to lower the cutting units. When the joy-
stick is pulled backward, and the front switch is used to
raise the cutting units (Fig. 41). The switches are identi-
cal.
The Toro Electronic Controller (TEC) monitors the posi-
tion of the normally open lower/raise switches. The low-
er/raise joystick switches are inputs used by the TEC to
manage various machine functions.
Testing
The joystick switches and their circuit wiring can be
tested as a TEC inputs using the InfoCenter Display
(see InfoCenter Display in this chapter). If testing deter-
mines that the switches and circuit wiring are not func-
tioning correctly, proceed with the following test
procedure:
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
engage parking brake and stop engine. Remove key
from ignition switch.
2. Remove control arm covers to gain access to joy-
stick switches (see Console Arm in Chapter 8 − Chassis
in this manual).
3. Disconnect wire harness connectors from raise and
lower switches on joystick assembly.
4. Check the continuity of the switches by connecting
a multimeter (ohms setting) across the switch connector
terminals as follows:
A. With the joystick in the neutral position, continuity
should only exist between the common and normally
closed (NC) terminals.
B. With the joystick in the raise position (raise
switch) or lower position (lower switch) continuity
should only exist between the common and Normally
Open (NO) terminals.
5. If either joystick switch is faulty, replace switch.
6. If the joystick switch tests correctly and a circuit prob-
lem still exists, check wire harness (see Wiring Sche-
matic and Circuit Drawings in Chapter 10 − Foldout
Drawings in this manual).
