TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TEST PROCEDURE 23 – OIL LEVEL SENSOR
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position, put the Forward/Reverse han-
dle in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
chock the wheels.
2. Ensure that the low oil warning light and all connecting wires are functioning correctly. See Test Proce-
dure 22 – Low Oil Warning Light on page 11-36.
3. Drain the engine oil into an approved container and properly dispose of used oil.
4. Turn the key switch ON, closing the circuit. The low oil warning light should illuminate. If the low oil warn-
ing light does not illuminate, the oil level sensor needs to be replaced. See Oil Level Sensor Removal,
Section 13, Page 13-6.
5. Install a new oil filter and fill the engine with new oil before returning the vehicle to service. See Engine
Oil, Section 10, Page 10-6.
TEST PROCEDURE 24 – NEUTRAL LOCKOUT CAM
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Check to be sure the lobes on the cam are pressing the neutral lockout limit switch lever as the Forward/
Reverse handle is being shifted. The limit switch should make an audible click as it is pressed. If it does
not, check for wear on the cam lobes. Be sure the cam has snapped fully back into place. If the cam lobes
still do not activate the limit switch, replace the cam.
TEST PROCEDURE 25 – BATTERY TEST (UNDER LOAD)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position, put the Forward/Reverse han-
dle in the NEUTRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the F2 (white wire) terminal on the starter/
generator. Place the black (–) probe on the negative (–) battery post.
3. Place battery under load.
3.1. Pedal-start vehicles: Turn the key switch to the ON position, leave the Forward/Reverse shifter in
the NEUTRAL position and press the accelerator pedal (with the accelerator pedal pressed, the
battery is under load).
3.2. Key-start vehicles: Turn the key switch to the ON position, and hold it in the START position while
noting the voltage reading on the multimeter (with the key in the START position the battery is under
load).
4. If the voltage reading is over 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the starter/
generator. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The voltage reading listed is for electrolyte at 70 °F (21 °C). At lower electrolyte temperatures the
voltage reading will be lower.
5. If the reading is below 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the battery. See
Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-15.
