Voltage Regulator - Club Car TURF 272 Maintenance Manual

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS: FE400, KEY-START ENGINE
5. Push the starter/generator down so it is at the lowest point of its adjustment travel. With the starter/gen-
erator belt fully in place around the drive clutch pulley, install the starter/generator belt (3) around the pul-
ley (10) on the end of the starter/generator.
6. Position a pry bar (13) between the top of the starter/generator mounting bracket (2) and the underside
of the starter/generator by passing the pry bar under the exhaust header.
7. While holding the pry bar, measure the belt tension using a Krikit
Parts stores), or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 75 ft-lb (101.7
N·m), or for an existing belt, 45 ft-lb (61 N·m) (Figure 12a-15, Page 12a-12).
8. While maintaining the tension, tighten the adjustment nut (12) to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m). Tighten the two pivot
bolts (5) and hex nuts (7) to 23 ft-lb (31.2 N·m) (Figure 12a-14, Page 12a-12). See following CAUTION.

CAUTION
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
9. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten the terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m). Coat
terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
10. Lower the cargo bed. See WARNING "For vehicles with cargo beds..." on page 12a-2.

See Test Procedure 12, Section 11a, Page 11a-33.
Voltage Regulator Removal
1. Make sure the key switch is OFF and the Forward/Reverse handle is in NEUTRAL. Chock the wheels.
2. Access the engine compartment. See WARNING "For vehicles with cargo beds..." on page 12a-2.
2.1. Tilt the bed and ensure that the prop rod is properly engaged.
3. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally start-
ing..." on page 12a-1.
4. Remove the electrical component box cover.
5. Disconnect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid, the yellow wire (4) at the
bullet connector, and the black wire (7) from the wire harness and at the battery frame ground
(Figure 12a-16, Page 12a-14).
6. Remove the voltage regulator mounting screw (8) and remove the voltage regulator (9).
Voltage Regulator Installation
1. Position the voltage regulator (9) in the electrical component box and install the mounting screw (8)
(Figure 12a-16, Page 12a-14). Tighten screw to 23 in-lb (2.6 N·m).
2. Connect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid with the other red wires, the
yellow wire (4) at the bullet connector, and the black wire (7) to the wire harness and the battery frame
ground (Figure 12a-16, Page 12a-14).
3. Install snap-on electrical component box cover. Be sure to firmly press down all corners. Install screw and
tighten to 18 in-lb (2 N·m).
