TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Use a known-good battery for troubleshooting.
• Check that the connectors are connected securely.
• Check for sufficient fresh fuel in the fuel tank.
• Check that the emergency stop switch clip is set securely.
• Read the circuit tester's operation instructions carefully, and observe the instructions during inspection.
• When a commercially available circuit tester is used for inspection, use the special tool [Tester probe (Male)
07ZAJ-RDJ110], and take care not to apply excessive force to the connector terminal.
• Switch the tester lead polarities to check the circuit, including a diode (see below). The circuit is normal if
there is continuity in one direction but not the other. If there is continuity in both directions or in neither
direction, the circuit is abnormal.
– Indicator light
– Regulator/rectifier
– Power tilt relay
– Fuse/relay junction box
