Voltage Regulator Installation
1. Position the voltage regulator (9) in the electrical component box and install the mounting screw (8)
(Figure 12-16, Page 12-13). Tighten screw to 23 in-lb (2.6 N·m).
2. Connect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid with the other red wires, the
yellow wire (4) at the bullet connector, and the black wire (7) to the wire harness and the battery frame
ground (Figure 12-16, Page 12-13).
3. 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).
4. Connect battery cables, positive cable first and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m). Coat terminals
with Battery Protector Spray (CCI 1014305).
5. Place Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Start the engine and check regulator for
proper functioning as described in the voltage regulator test procedure. See Test Procedure 12, Sec-
tion 11, Page 11-32.
