Starter Test
•
Connect the red (+) terminal connector cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
•
Connect the black (-) terminal connector cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
•
Perform the battery test and note the exact voltage (Load Volts) with the load test on.
•
If voltage continues to fall after 10 seconds, this test cannot be preformed.
•
Do not press the rocker load switch during the following test.
•
Disable the ignition system so the engine will not start,
•
Crank the engine and note the exact voltage during cranking.
•
Now refer the noted Load Volts and cranking voltage in the following starter test table.
•
If cranking voltage is below the min. crank volts in following starter test table, the starter current draw is
excessive.
•
Excessive starter current draw makes starting difficult and shortens the battery life. If starter cranks slowly, check
for high resistance or poor connections.

Charging System Test
•
Do not press the rocker load switch during this test.
•
Connect the red (+) terminal connector cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
•
Connect the black (-) terminal connector cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
•
Operate the engine at fast idle. e.g. 1200 - 1500 rpm.
•
View the display meter and read the “charging system” scale located on the far right side of the display meter.
•
Note meter reading with all electrical accessories off. It should be in green area in “charging system” scale.
•
With headlights and blower motor on high, meter should remain in green area.
•
If display meter needle falls in red area or outside the charging system area, then “charging system“ is
malfunctioning.
