| Control type | Side Mount (CH1700) / Top Mount (CH7500, CH7600) |
|---|---|
| Engine shut‑off switch | Standard part of CH1700 side‑mount controls |
| Minimum bend radius | Standard 8" / Xtreme 4" |
| Neutral safety switch | Provided to prevent engine start in gear |
It prevents the engine from starting while the control is in gear, allowing start only when the control is in neutral.
With the control in neutral, connect a test light between the common terminal and the normally‑open terminal; the light should illuminate.
