4. Reconnect the yellow wire to the (DF) terminal on the starter/generator.
Test Procedure 10 - Voltage Regulator:
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Check that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as neces-
sary.
3. Check the engine-governored RPM. The reading should be between 2625-2725 RPM. If it is not, adjust
the accelerator cable at the electrical component box (See Fuel System Section 14).
4. With the battery in good condition and fully charged, with proper ventilation run the engine for several
minutes to bring the voltage regulator to operating temperature. Using a multimeter set to DC volt
(DCV), place the red (+) probe on the large post of the solenoid with the red wire from the voltage reg-
ulator attached. Place the black (-) probe on the negative (-) post of battery. Turn the key switch to the
ON position. Depress the accelerator to start the engine, and run it at full governed speed. If the read-
ing is between 14.7 and 15.3 volts, the regulator is good. If the reading is lower than 14.7 volts but ris-
ing steadily, check battery condition (See Hydrometer Testing, Page 12-49). If the reading is lower
than 14.7 volts and not rising, and the starter/generator is good; or if the reading is over 15.3 volts and
continues to rise, replace voltage regulator (Figure 12-28).
Test Procedure 11 - Ignition Spark (Figure 12-28):
• DO NOT OPERATE GASOLINE VEHICLE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WITHOUT PROPER VENTI-
LATION. ENGINE PRODUCES CARBON MONOXIDE WHICH IS AN ODORLESS, DEADLY POI-
SON.
• LEAVE THE BATTERY CONNECTED WHILE PERFORMING TEST PROCEDURE 10.
