3. Check the engine RPM setting to ensure that it is adjusted correctly. See Engine RPM Adjustment,
Section 13c, Page 13c-20.
4. With the battery in good condition and fully charged, run the engine for several minutes to bring the volt-
age regulator to operating temperature.
5. Set the multimeter for 20 VDC.
6. With the engine running at full-governed RPM, measure the battery voltage at the battery posts. If the
reading is between 14.2 and 14.8 volts, the alternator is good. If the reading is less than 14.2 volts but
rising steadily, check battery condition. See Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11c-13.
7. If the reading is less than 14.2 volts and not rising or higher than 14.8 volts, replace the alternator.
TEST PROCEDURE 19 – 60-AMP FUSIBLE LINK
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock
the wheels.
2. Raise the driver side seat and locate the blue fusible link wire attached to the alternator (Figure 11c-35,
Page 11c-38).

3. The easiest way to test them is to tug on them. A blown link will stretch like a rubber band. Fusible links
can either fail gradually or suddenly, depending on the cause. Sluggish electrical accessories, an
unusual pause before the starter turns, and odd behavior of accessories plugged into the power socket
are all symptoms of a failing fusible link.
4. Ensure that the nuts securing the link to the alternator and the large post of the starter solenoid are con-
nected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
5. Set the multimeter to 20 VDC.
6. Place the black (–) probe on the frame (ground).
7. Place the red (+) probe on the fusible link ring terminal atttached to the alternator stud. The reading
should indicate approximately 12 VDC (or full battery voltage).
