Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: There are no internally serviceable components in the charger. To test charger operation: Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals. Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
Wire Diagrams Charger AC Cords: If you are not familiar with standard AC power wiring, then refer repair to a qualified licenced electrician. Charger AC power source is High Voltage. Only personnel qualified for work high voltage AC power lines should repair the charger AC power cord. Improper repair or incorrect wiring may result in an electrical shock hazard causing severe bodily injury or electrocution.
