are functioning properly, according t o t h e f o l l o w i n g
procedure.
(1) H o l d a steel screwdriver blade approximately 1/
8 inch above t h e r e t a i n i n g n u t o n t h e coil t o be
tested.
(2) Have a helper position t h e control switch t h a t
energizes t h e applicable coil (e.g., place t h e RAISE/
L O W E R s w i t c h i n the L O W E R and F L O A T positions
to energize solenoid valve " A " coil).
CAUTION: Do not connect an ohm meter to a sole-
noid coil when voltage is applied to the coil. This
can cause internal damage to the ohmmeter.
(3) I f t h e coil has voltage applied a n d current is
