POWERDRIVE 2 CHARGER (EXTERNAL)

DANGER
• Do not touch any wire or component in the battery charger while AC power is present. Failure
to heed this warning will result in an electric shock.
5. Make sure the secondary coil wires are not touching one another. With the relay bypassed, insert the AC
plug into an outlet. If the AC line fuse blows or AC circuit breaker trips, the transformer is shorted inter-
nally and must be replaced.
6. If the AC line fuse does not blow or the AC circuit breaker does not trip, check the transformer secondary
coil voltage.
7. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet.
8. Using alligator clips and a multimeter set to 500 volts AC, connect the multimeter probes to the second-
ary transformer coil wires (1 and 5).
9. Connect the AC cord to the wall outlet and monitor the multimeter for the secondary coil voltage. If mea-
sured voltage is approximately 42.5 volts AC or lower for the secondary coil, the transformer is shorted
internally and must be replaced (Figure 5-16, Page 5-19).
10. If the voltage reading is normal (43 volts AC or higher), the transformer is operational. Disconnect the AC
plug from the wall receptacle and check the continuity of the DC circuit. See Test Procedure 5 –
Charger DC Circuit Continuity Test on page 5-17.
11. When troubleshooting and repairs are complete, properly connect the relay wiring. See following
WARNING.
