Assembly is complete when the Craftsman
Smart Lawn Connect Plug is sandwiched
between the other two components.
Your part may vary slightly in appearance.
Before reassembling the Console, tug on the
ends of the plug assembly. When pushed
together correctly they should not pull apart.
Prongs will be visible here
5 When all three components are plugged together this is how the plug assembly looks (refer to illustration
below). NOTE: The base of the Ignition Switch prongs will be visible in the gap between the Ignition Switch
and the Craftsman Smart Lawn Connect Plug. This is intentional, and allows for proper plug functionality.
