2.  Disassemble panel cover to locate and check the wire 

connections (

A

, Figure 66).

3.  Locate battery winding connector (

B

, Figure 67) and 

mesure resistance across the terminals (

C

).

Figure 66

• 

If resistance is 0.3 - 0.7 Ω the winding is good.

• If 

resistance 

is 

not to specification, check wire connections, 

or repair/repace wires, then retest.

• 

If resistance is still not to specification, replace battery 

winding.

• 

Repair and/or replace any loose wire connections and 

retest.

• 

If DC ouput is still not measured, proceed to Step 3.
