1. Remove the fuel cap and lift bail rubber gasket.
With the 5/16" nut driver, remove the case top
and left side; then reinstall the fuel cap.
2. Connect the volt/ohmmeter probes to leads #3
and #5 where they connect to the 115 VAC
receptacle. See Figure F.3.

To test the 230 VAC winding:
1. Remove the fuel cap and lift bail rubber gasket.
With the 5/16" nut driver, remove the case top
and left side; then reinstall the fuel cap.
2. Connect the volt/ohmmeter probes to leads #6
and #3 where they connect to the 230 VAC
receptacle.
NOTE: It is easier to insert the probes directly into
the receptacle to perform this test.
However, the probes may not reach in far
enough to make or keep a good connec-
tion. In this case, before you start the
gasoline engine, insert two test probes into
the receptacle. Hold the test probes firmly
in place to measure voltage (Step 5).
3. Start the engine and run it at high idle (3700
RPM)
4. Set the output control to the maximum position
(position 10).
5. Check the AC voltage reading.
approximately 240 VAC.
