ALTERNATOR OUTPUT TEST
(AC AMP)
This test measures AC amperage from the alternator.
• Maximum alternator output will be indicated on the
meter. It is
not
necessary to increase engine RPM above
idle.
• Place the red lead on the tester in the 10A jack.
• Turn the selector dial to the AC amps (A
~
) position.
• Connect the meter leads to the wires leading from the
alternator (see schematic for proper wiring colors).
• Start the engine and let it idle. Reading should be a
minimum of 8A at idle.
BATTERY IDENTIFICATION
NOTICE: It is important to identify what type of battery you
have installed in your ATV. Different types of batteries require
different service procedures. Proper servicing and upkeep of
your battery is very important for maintaining long battery life.
Your ATV may have a Conventional Battery or a Sealed Low
Maintenance Battery. To identify which type of battery your
ATV has, refer to the illustration below and follow the correct
service and charging procedures that follow in the manual.
CAUTION
This test simulates a “full load” on the alternator. Do
not perform this test longer than required to obtain
a reading or the alternator stator windings may
overheat. Do not exceed idle rpm during this test.
Alternator Current Output:
Minimum of 8 AC Amps
To Calculate Available Alternator Output
I =
P 150 W
E 12 V
= 12.5 Amps
I = Current in Amps
P = Power in Watts
E = Electromotive Force (Volts)
