IF PTO CLUTCH WILL NOT ENGAGE

Apply a negative ground to this terminal

Apply 12Volts to this terminal. Clutch should activate, if it doesn’t, clutch is defective.

If clutch checks OK, use a voltmeter to measure for 12 volts at the brown wire’s terminal. First turn ignition switch to the ON position but don’t start the engine. Now engage the PTO switch. For the first test put the negative probe on a good ground, not on the white wire’s terminal in the plug. If no voltage is measured, move on to next test.

Used on

ZT18542The problem may be a poor ground on the white wire in the clutch plug. Check by testing for continuity to

ground or check for voltage between the two terminals. If no voltage is measured, move on to next test.

With the PTO switch ON there should be continuity between these two connectors, if not, replace switch. If switch tested good, check wires and connectors back to ignition switch and back to clutch plug.
