Testing Electrical
Components
All of the electrical tests should be made using the
Fluke Model 73 Multimeter (p/n 0644-191) and
when testing peak voltage, the Peak Voltage Read-
ing Adapter (p/n 0644-307) must be used. If any
other type of meter is used, readings may vary due
to internal circuitry. When troubleshooting a spe-
cific component, always verify first that the fuse is
good, that the bulbs are good, that the connections
are clean and tight, that the battery is fully charged,
and that all appropriate switches are activated.
NOTE: For absolute accuracy, all tests should be
made at room temperature of 68° F.
