Good To Know
Q: How do I confirm this switch fits my specific loader? A: Check your machine's serial number prefix and compare it with the compatible model list, as variations can occur across production years. The physical size and electrical connector should match the original component.
Q: Is this switch sold as a complete unit? A: Yes, this is a single rocker switch unit ready for installation, which includes the housing and electrical terminals. It is a direct replacement, not a repair kit.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
