Corrective Action

1. CAUTION Disengage
clutch before performing
this test to prevent pow-
ering the wire rope

once, it is likely to stick
again and must be
replaced immediately.
Tap solenoid to free stuck
contacts. Check by apply-
ing voltage to the small
solenoid terminal. Be
sure solenoid is grounded
back to source. A sole-
noid that is not stuck will
make an audible "click"
when first energized.
