– Clip one ohmmeter test lead to
the generator wire and the other
test lead to the rear handle
heating element wire.
All electrical components of the
handle heating system are
connected in series with the
ohmmeter.
If the system is in order, the
ohmmeter will show a reading of
about 8 W in measuring range "W".
If no reading is obtained, there is a
break in the circuit.
If the ohmmeter shows a very low
value, there is a short circuit in one
of the components.
In either case it is necessary to
check each component separately,
