Test Procedure 2 - Individual Battery Voltage
1. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the forward and reverse switch in NEUTRAL. Leave the batteries
connected and leave the Z plug connected to the controller.
2. Place black (-) probe of a multimeter, set to Volts DC (DCV), on the negative (-) post of battery No. 1 and place
red (+) probe on the positive (+) post of battery No. 1 (Figure 21-22). Record the reading for battery No. 1.
3. Repeat this test on batteries 2 through 6.
4. If the voltage readings are within .4 volts of each other, recharge the batteries.
NOTE
• IF TOTAL BATTERY PACK VOLTAGE IS BELOW 32 VOLTS, SEE TEST PROCEDURE 3. IF BAT-
TERY PACK VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 32 VOLTS, FOLLOW NORMAL CHARGING PROCEDURES.
5. If any battery has a voltage reading that is more than .4 volts below the other batteries, replace the bat-
tery with a good used battery of approximately the same age or with a new one.

WARNING
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR SERVICE THIS CHARGER.
ANYONE DOING EVEN SIMPLE REPAIRS OR SERVICE SHOULD FOLLOW THE CORRECT PRO-
CEDURES AND HEED THE WARNINGS STATED IN THIS MANUAL.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING THE CAR.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORDS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPLAIRS TO THE
CHARGER. FIRST UNPLUG THE AC CORD FROM THE OUTLET AND THEN UNPLUG THE DC
CORD FROM THE VEHICLE.
1. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the forward and reverse switch in NEUTRAL. Leave the batteries
connected and leave the Z plug connected to the controller.
2. Set a multimeter to Volts DC, then place the black (-) probe on the negative post of battery No. 6 and
place the red (+) probe on the positive (+) post of battery No. 1 (Figure 21-21). The reading must be
above 32 volts to activate the solenoid. If the reading is below 32 volts, charge the batteries. Because
the battery charger will not turn on when battery voltage is below 32 volts, it will be necessary to by-
pass the charger relay in order to activate the charger (See Section 22, Page 22-18).
