TEST PROCEDURE 3 – SOLENOID ACTIVATING COIL
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Remove the two small wire terminals from the solenoid.
See following NOTE.
3. Place red (+) probe of the multimeter on the positive (+) solenoid terminal. Place the black (–) probe on
the other small solenoid terminal. A reading of 180 to 190 ohms should be obtained
. If not,
replace the solenoid.
4. If a failed diode was removed, replacement of the diode is not necessary because a diode that serves the
same function is located within the speed controller.
