bleshooting or testing. Disconnect the bat
tery cables unless the test requires battery
voltage.
CAUTION
For effective troubleshooting and repairs, you MUST
have a good understanding of the electrical circuits and
components used on this machine. (See Electrical
Schematics and Diagrams section of this chapter.)
Engine Starting Problems
Study the operating characteristics preceding the elec
trical failure to help identify the area of difficulty. Try to
isolate the failure to a specific functional system; then
check that area, repairing one component at a time.
Attempting to repair more than one system at one time
will lead to confusion.
Possible Causes and Corrections in the troubleshooting
charts should be checked in the order in which they are
listed.
If the machine being repaired has any interlock switches
by-passed, they must be reconnected for proper trou
bleshooting and safety.
