Electrical System Quick Checks
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the
battery terminals.

and more accurate information.
Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging sys-
tem is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
Start the engine and run at high idle (2870 RPM). Allow
the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record the
battery voltage.
Use a digital  multimeter set to DC  volts. Connect the
positive (+) multimeter lead to the positive battery post
and the negative (--) multimeter lead to the negative bat-
tery post. Keep the test leads connected to the battery
posts and record the battery voltage.
After running the engine for at least 3 minutes, battery
voltageshouldbeatleast0.50volthigherthaninitialbat-
tery voltage.
An example of a charging system that is functioning:
NOTE:  Upon starting the  engine, the battery  voltage
will drop and then should  increase once the engine is
running.
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.

= +0.55 v
NOTE:  Depending upon  the condition  of the  battery
charge and battery temperature, the battery voltage will
increase at different rates as the battery charges.
Check Operation of Interlock Switches
Interlock switch operation is described in the Operator’s
Manual. Testing of interlock switches  and relays is in-
cluded in the Component Testing section of this Chap-
ter.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect safety switches. They are for
theoperator’sprotection.  Checktheoperationof
the interlock switches daily for proper operation.
Replace any malfunctioning switches before op-
erating the machine.
