3. Remove the black wire (3) from the circuit breaker and disconnect the tan wire (4) from the relay. Con-
nect the tan wire to the circuit breaker (Figure 23-31).
4. Be sure that secondary coil leads are not touching one another. With the relay bypassed, plug the AC
plug into an outlet. If the AC line fuse or circuit breaker blows, the transformer is shorted internally and
must be replaced (See Transformer, Page 23-24).
5. If the AC line fuse or circuit breaker does not blow, check the transformer secondary voltage across
leads No.1 and No. 5 using a multimeter. If measured voltages are approximately 85 volts AC or lower
for the secondary coil, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced (Figure 23-31).
6. If the transformer output measurments are 86 volts or higher, disconnect the AC plug from its outlet.
7. If the voltage readings are normal, the transformer is good. Refer to Test Procedure 5 for further tests
of the DC circuit.
TEST PROCEDURE 7
Battery State of Charge Test:
1. After the charger has shut off, disconnect the DC charger plug for approximately 20 seconds and then
reconnect it. The ammeter should jump to 14 to 18 amps and then taper to below 12 amps within 15
minutes. If it does taper to below 12 amps within 15 minutes, batteries are fully charged and the
charger is functioning properly.
2. If the charger does not taper to below 12 amps within 15 minutes, batteries may not be receiving a full
charge and the on-board computer should be checked (See Test Procedure 2).
• DO NOT ALLOW SECONDARY COIL LEADS TO TOUCH ONE ANOTHER. THERE ARE APPROX-
IMATELY 120 VOLTS PRESENT.
FIGURE 23-31
• OLD BATTERIES NEAR THE END OF USEFUL SERVICE MAY NOT TAPER TO BELOW 12 AMPS
(SEE SECTION 22 - BATTERIES, IN THIS MANUAL).
