- FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS STATED.
• SEE SAFETY WARNINGS PAGE 17-1.
Test Procedure 1 - Batteries / Voltage Check:
1. With VOM set at Volts DC, place red (+) probe on the positive post of battery No. 1, and the black (-)
probe on the negative terminal of battery No. 6. If you don't read at least 48 volts with the batteries fully
charged, check for loose battery connections or a battery installed in reverse polarity. Refer to Batteries,
Section 18, for further details on battery testing.
Test Procedure 2 - Key Switch:
Vehicle with Multi-step (wiper switch) Potentiometer -
1. Place the red (+) probe of the VOM or continuity tester on the large terminal of the solenoid (with red
wire attached) and place the black (-) probe at the blue wire disconnect terminal on the key switch side.
2. With the key switch off, the reading should be no continuity. If continuity is shown, perform Test
Procedure 4. If a correct reading is not obtained for Test Procedure 4, check the key switch, wires and
terminals, and then replace defective parts.
3. Insert the key and turn the switch on. The reading should be continuity.
4. If the reading is incorrect, check the key switch, wires and terminals, and then replace defective parts.
Vehicle with Continuously Variable Potentiometer -
1. Place the red (+) probe of the VOM or continuity tester on the large terminal of the solenoid (with red
wire attached) and place the black (-) probe at the green/white wire from the Forward/Reverse limit
switch No. 1.
