RANGER 300 D AND 300 DLX

CHARGING CIRCUIT TEST

(continued)

FIGURE F.13 – VOLTAGE REGULATOR LEADS

TEST PROCEDURE

1. With the 5/16” and 3/8” nut drivers, remove

the right case side.

2. Locate the engine alternator and leads. See

Figure F.13.

3. Set the voltmeter for DC volts and check for

the typical DC voltages according to the
Charging Circuit Test Chart below.

4. If the DC voltages are correct, the engine

alternator is operating normally.

If any of the voltage readings are missing or
not normal, the engine alternator or associ-
ated wiring may be faulty. See the Wiring
Diagram.
