  • What does the Neutral Start Switch (NSS) do?
    How is the NSS wired?
    When does the NSS contact open?
    What does the Backup Alarm Switch (BUA) do?
    How is the BUA wired?
    When does the BUA contact close?
    How many different configurations can the NSS/BUA assembly be set to?
    How do I adjust the NSS or NSS and BUA?
The Neutral Start Switch (NSS) prevents the engine from
being started when the pump control handle is out of neutral.
The NSS should be wired in series with the engine starting
circuit. The switch contact is closed at the handle’s neutral
position and opens when the control handle is rotated 1.5°
to 2° from neutral.
The Backup Alarm Switch (BUA) outputs an electronic
signal when the control handle is in a reverse position. This
switch is normally wired in series with an audio output. The
switch contact is open until the control handle is rotated 2.6°
to 3.75° in the reverse direction.
WARNING:
The control handle’s neutral position must agree
with the pump’s neutral position for the NSS/BUA to
work effectively.
The Neutral Start/Backup Alarm Switch assembly can be
configured for three different setting.
i. A Neutral Start Switch only.
ii. A Neutral Start Switch with Backup Alarm for units
where clockwise (CW) handle rotation results in
“reverse” motion.
iii. A Neutral Start Switch with Backup Alarm for units
where counterclockwise (CCW) handle rotation
results in “reverse” motion
The setting must be in accordance with the configuration of
the unit. See the model code if uncertain of the type of NSS
you have.

Service Kit Instructions
Series 42
Manual displacement control neutral start switch
Note:
Adjustment is normally required unless the function
of the NSS is changed (between i, ii, and iii).
Adjustment of the NSS or NSS and BUA requires a special
alignment tool. Dimension are give at right.
Adjustment is performed by setting the cam positions within
the NSS assembly
1. The Manual Displacement Control (MDC) must be
removed from the housing.
2. Remove the NSS (
7
/8 inch hex).
3. Remove and discard the NSS cover by inserting a
screwdriver into the NSS cavity and popping off the
cover with a hammer. Be careful not to damage the
internal hardware.
4. Remove the control nut (8 mm hex).
5. Use a screwdriver to pop off the cam.
6. On the underside of the MDC, gently clamp a pair of
locking pliers around the spring contacts of the
control cam. Be careful not to dambe the spring
wires. The pliers should hold the nub on the control
cam to the pin underneath. This will hold the
control cam in neutral position.
7. Set cam in proper orientation according to the unit’s
configuration.
8. Screw special alignment tool in NSS cavity to hold
cam in place.
9. Place control nut on cam and torque to 4.1 to 6.8
Nm (3 - 5 ft•lbf).
10. Press new cover on top of cam cavity. This re-
quires either an arbor
press or a full-sized punch.
The tool diameter should be 23.3 mm (0.916 in).
Press the new cover so that it sits 1.06 mm (0.0417
in) below the cast surface as illustrated at right.
11. Remove the alignment tool and locking pliers.
12. Place a new lubricated O-ring on NSS.
13. Reconnect the NSS to the MDC. Torque to 25 - 29
Nm (18 - 22 ft•lbf).
14. Reinstall MDC onto pump housing.
