TEST PROCEDURE 29 – VOLTAGE LIMITER
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning on page 1-2.
3. Remove the instrument panel. See Key Switch Removal, Section 13, Page 13-14.
4. Using a multimeter set on 20 volts DC, connect the red (+) probe to the light switch terminal with the yel-
low wire (Figure 12-36, Page 12-36) .
5. Loosen the black wire connector (on the end of the long black wire) at the voltage limiter just enough to
maintain the connection and yet expose part of the metal terminal in the connector. Place black (–) probe
on the connector
(Figure 12-36, Page 12-36) .
6. Connect the battery, positive (+) cable first.
7. Pull the light switch to the ON position. The reading should be 11-12 volts. If the there is no voltage read-
ing, check continuity of the 16-gauge black wire from the headlight to the voltage limiter. Check continuity
of the 16-gauge black wire from voltage limiter to the vehicle frame. If the wires show continuity and the
readings are still incorrect, replace the voltage limiter.
See Voltage Limiter Removal, Section 13,
Page 13-28.
8. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the wheels chocked, start the engine
and press the accelerator pedal to the floor.
9. Push the light switch to the OFF position. The reading should be 14.7-15.3 volts.
10. Pull the light switch to the ON position. The reading should be 11-13 volts. If the reading does not drop
from 14.5-15.5 volts to 11-13 volts, replace the voltage limiter.
TEST PROCEDURE 30 – VOLTAGE AT HEADLIGHT SOCKET
See General Warning on page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
