Good To Know
Q: Will this switch work on a 12V system without modification? A: Yes, the switch is designed to operate on either 12V or 24V systems, so it can be installed on machines with either electrical architecture. No additional resistors or converters are required.
Q: Is the switch plug-and-play with the factory wiring harness? A: It is designed to match the connector and mounting of the OEM 142-9325 switch, but wiring harnesses vary by serial number. Check the terminal layout and connector shape against your existing switch before fitting.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
