Test Procedure 3 - Ground Straps, Continued:
5. Check the 6 gauge black wire that connects the negative post of the battery to the frame. The frame
connection should be clean and tight. Visual inspection of the connection on the frame is very difficult.
The best check for tightness is to pull on the black wire. If the wire moves at the connection end, disas-
semble the frame connection, clean off the bolt, ring terminal, and nut. Then reinstall the frame connec-
tion.
6. Set the multimeter to ohms (
Ω
). Place the red (+) probe on the unconnected end of the 6 gauge black
wire, and place the black (-) probe on the frame of the vehicle. The reading should be continuity. If the
reading is incorrect, check that terminals connections are clean and tight. If the connections are good
and the reading is incorrect, repair or replace the wire (Figure 12-20).
Test Procedure 4 - Accelerator Starter Limit Switch:
The accelerator starter limit switch is the top switch located in the electrical component box. There are an 18
gauge green wire and an 18 gauge orange wire connected to this limit switch.
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Check for proper wiring and tight connections (Figure 12-3, Page 84).
3. Set the multimeter to ohms (
Ω
). Place the red (+) probe on the common (COM) terminal (green wire) of
the limit switch and place the black (-) probe on the normally closed (NC) terminal (orange wire) of the
limit switch.
4. Make sure the battery is disconnected. With the key switch in the OFF position, the forward and reverse

• WHEN MAKING ELECTRICAL TESTS OR REPAIRS, ALWAYS:
- WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION.
- REMOVE THE KEY.
- PUT THE FORWARD AND REVERSE SWITCH IN NEUTRAL.
- DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AS SHOWN (FIGURE 12-1, PAGE 82).
• FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED.
