VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
Testing the Voltage Regulator
See Test Procedure 11, Section 11, Page 11-18.
Voltage Regulator Removal
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Remove the electrical component box cover and remove the wire tie securing the wires where they exit
the component box.
3. Disconnect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid and disconnect the yellow
wire (2) at the bullet connector
(Figure 12-15, Page 12-12)
.
4. Disconnect the voltage regulator black ground wire (3) at the battery frame ground and also from the nor-
mally open (NO) terminal of the kill limit switch in the component box
(Figure 12-15, Page 12-12)
.
5. Remove the voltage regulator mounting screw (4) and remove the voltage regulator (5).
Voltage Regulator Installation
1. Position the voltage regulator (5) in the electrical component box and install the mounting screw (4)
(Figure 12-15, Page 12-12)
. Tighten screw to 23 in-lb (2.6 N·m).
2. Connect voltage regulator red wire (1) to the solenoid, and connect the yellow wire (2) bullet connector.
3. Connect the black ground wire (3) to the battery frame connection bolt (ring terminal) and also to the nor-
mally open (NO) terminal (slip on) of the kill limit switch
(Figure 12-15, Page 12-12)
. Install a new wire
tie.
4. Install snap-on electrical component box cover. Be sure to firmly press down all corners. Install screw and
tighten to 18 in-lb (2 N·m).
5. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
See Figure 10-1, Section 10, Page 10-3.
Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/
N 1014305) to minimize corrosion.
