Accelerator Switch (521 Only): Notes

Connect ohmmeter to terminals of switch. Meter should read zero when pedal is depressed and infinity when pedal is not depressed. If switch does not operate correctly, keep pedal down and push switch knob several times and repeat test. If switch then works, release accelerator switch adjusting nut and screw switch assembly towards the pedal. When ohmmeter indicates zero, screw switch in for one or two more turns and lock switch adjusting nut. If these procedures fail to obtain an operable switch, replace switch.
