This control handle is specifically designed for John Deere garden tractors, including models such as the 318, 322, 332 and 420, providing an optimised control experience for the electric chute. With the integrated rocker switch, the user can easily adjust the height of the chute. This design enables both rotation of the handle and control of the chute's elevation with a single, fluid motion, improving overall ease of use during work.
The built-in rocker switch is a 6-pole DPDT snap-in switch, known from applications in, among other things, boat and car accessories, attesting to its robustness and functionality. The switch is mounted with hot melt adhesive for a secure fixing. To ensure long-term operation and protect the rocker switch itself, it is recommended to connect it to two relays that drive the chute actuator.
After installation, the handle can be advantageously protected against water and dust, for example with a flexible cover, to maintain its performance in various weather conditions. This functional upgrade helps streamline work with your garden tractor and provides more convenient operation.
