SERVICE LEVEL MAINTENANCE
35
Before servicing the electrical system, check the
following:
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY
And To Avoid Damage To The Engine and 1530
Electrical Components,
DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE AND
BATTERY CABLES
Before Servicing the Electrical System.
● Check the battery on the 1530. Ensure that the battery
is fully charged and supplying the proper voltage (12
Volt DC negative [
-
] ground). The problem may be a
weak battery.
● Check the condition of the battery cables. Clean
terminal lugs if needed.
● Check the polarity at the battery. Red wire is positive
(+), black wire is ground (-).
● Check the in-line fuse in the relay wiring harness
(under engine hood, mounted on frame wall next
to engine voltage rectifier). Proper fuse is a 6 AMP,
type AGC-6 .
● Check the relay in the relay wiring harness (under
engine hood, mounted on frame wall next to engine
voltage rectifier). Relay blades should be clean and
the relay should be firmly seat in the socket.
● Check the plug connection between the relay wiring
harness (cable with fuse coming from the engine
starter and relay) and the main wiring harness.
● Check the fuse on the Honda engine. Refer to the
Honda engine manual for location and proper type
of fuse.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY
Read and Understand the Safety Warnings
Supplied By the Battery Manufacturer and
Printed On the Battery.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES. Batteries Contain Acid
Which Can Cause Sever Burns To the Eyes and
the Skin. Batteries Emit Explosive Gases, Avoid
Sparks and Open Flames.
BATTERY
(See Figure 20)
The 1530 is not shipped with a battery. The battery is a
customer supplied item. The proper type of battery is a
12 Volt DC Group U1A. Service the battery in accordance
with the battery manufacturers instructions.
The Honda engine is equipped with a 10 AMP charging
system to recharge the battery during operation. Refer
the Honda engine manual for information on the
charging system. The engine type is GX340-K1-QNE2
(10 AMP with regulator/rectifier). NOTE: The engine
charging system is protected by a 15 AMP fuze located
on the engine.
During operation, the battery box cover should always
be install and strapped down to secure the battery. To
avoid an accumulation of moisture in the box, check
that drain hole in the bottom front corner of the battery
box is not blocked. Ensure that the vent hole on top of
the battery box cover is not blocked to avoid a buildup
of explosive gases from the battery.
BATTERY CABLES
(See Figure 20)
The battery cables connect the battery to the engine.
The cables supply electrical connection for both engine
starting and battery charging. Check the cables secure
connections, corroded or loose terminals, and damaged
insulation.
● The red positive (
+
) battery cable is connected to the
Honda engine starter solenoid. Refer to the Honda
engine manual to properly identify and locate the
solenoid.
● The black negative (
-
) battery cable is connected
to the 1530 frame to provide ground for the Honda
engine and 1530 electrical systems.
RELAY WIRING HARNESS
(See Figure 20 and 21)
The relay wiring harness is equipped with and in-line
fuse and a relay. The relay provides electrical switching
for the 1530. When the engine ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position, the relay is energized and completes
the electrical circuits for the conveyor belt and spinner
hydraulic valve solenoids. When the engine ignition
switch is in the “OFF” position, no electrical power will
be available to complete the circuits.
When the engine switch is turned to “ON”, a faint “click”
can be heard or felt at the relay. If the relay fails, check
the following.
● The red wire (
+
) on the harness is attached to the
engine starter solenoid (at same terminal as the red
battery cable). The red wire on the relay harness has
an in-line fuse holder. Check the holder for a fuse, the
proper size is 6 AMP, type AGC-6. If the fuse is good,
the red wire will have voltage present at all times, before
and after the fuse holder.
● The orange wire (
+
) is soldered to terminal number 6
on the engine ignition switch. The orange wire will
only
have voltage present when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position. The orange wire provides the electrical
power to energize the relay.
