TESTING VOLTAGE
Perform this test on the starter motor positive terminal.
To access the terminal, slide the boot away.

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position, the emergency stop switch in the RUN
position, and the shift lever in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
1. Set the meter selector to the D.C. Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the starter terminal;
then connect the black tester lead to ground.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show a drop in battery voltage and the starter
motor should operate.
AR607D

NOTE: If the meter showed no battery voltage,
inspect the main fuse, ground connections, starter
motor lead, battery voltage (at the battery),
switches, starter relay, or neutral start relay.
Starter Relay
1. Remove the seat; then using the multimeter set to
the D.C. Voltage position, check the relay as
follows.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
terminal; then connect the black tester lead to the
starter cable connection on the starter relay. The
meter must show battery voltage.
KX206A

NOTE: Make sure that the ignition switch is in
the ON position, transmission in neutral, brake
lock released, and the emergency stop switch in
the RUN position.
3. Depress the starter button while observing the
multimeter. The multimeter should drop to 0 volts
and a “click” should be heard from the relay.

NOTE: If a “click” is heard and any voltage is
indicated by the multimeter, replace the starter
relay. If no “click” is heard and the multimeter con-
tinues to indicate battery voltage, proceed to step
4.
4. Disconnect the two-wire plug from the starter
relay; then connect the red tester lead to the green
wire and the black tester lead to the black wire.
KX059A
5. Depress the starter button and observe the
multimeter.

NOTE: If battery voltage is indicated, replace the
starter relay. If no voltage is indicated, proceed to
Neutral Start Relay check.
Neutral Start Relay

NOTE: Make sure that the ignition switch is in
the ON position, transmission in neutral, brake
lever lock released, and the emergency stop
switch in the RUN position.
Compress the hand brake lever or depress the auxiliary
brake pedal and observe the multimeter.

NOTE: If battery voltage is indicated on the mul-
timeter, replace the neutral start relay. If no voltage
is indicated, check the starter button or wiring har-
ness. Connect the two-wire plug into the neutral
start relay.
