Gauge, Voltmeter - Toro 315-8 User Manual

Testing
1. With the gauge still connected to the harness, turn
the key to the "RUN" position.
2. Using a VOM, set scale capable of reading 12
volts D.C., connect the negative lead to ground
(Figure 4) to verify the conditions in the table
below.
Terminal Reading
G 0 volts
I 12 volts*
S 2.5 volts tank full

The meter movement moves proportional to the
voltage level across the two terminals of the battery.
This is accomplished by placing a resistor in parallel
with the meter movement.
