new running belt and deck should average between 8 to 12 amperes. Note that a digital
meter could measure peak amps as high as 20 amps, even on a new belt and deck.
3. If the average current reading approaches 20 amperes, the running belt should be
replaced. The running deck should be flipped or replaced if the running deck has been
previously flipped. See Procedure, Running Belt and/or Deck Replacement (on page
101) for running belt and running deck replacement.
4. If the average AC current readings are greater than on a new running belt and deck
combination but not approaching 20 amperes, the reading will give you an indication of
the running belt and deck combination’s general condition.
NOTE
: Repeat the amp draw test after replacing a running belt and deck. Damage to
the lower control module can occur if the unit had been run in an overload/high current
condition for prolonged periods of time. This type of damage would not generate an
error code, but would cause the breaker to trip intermittently. An amp draw test will
catch this condition.
