Kubota BX24 Safety switches

[GregWittman]

Does anyone know if cleaning a PTO safety switch with an electrical spray cleaner will be effective. It appears, through troubleshooting, that the safety switch is malfunctioning due to dirt or an internal failure. What are the thoughts on electrical contact spray cleaners? Or, should we just change out the squat switch? Don't want to dig into it if I don't have to.

I can't answer your question about the spray cleaner, but when my pto safety switch seemed intermittent, it turned out that the switch was adjusted just on the hairy edge. It is easily adjusted from under the left fender... maybe have to take the wheel off for better access. Just loosen the 2 screw & slide the switch over a bit.

Thanks Pete! I will give it a try.
