INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL
BATTERY CHECKS
Battery inspection is very important in electronically controlled engines: You must check the
battery condition regularly.
LOAD TEST
• Perform the following steps to complete the load
test procedure for maintenance-free batteries.
• Connect the load tester clamps to the terminals
and proceed with the test as follows:
① If the battery has been charged, remove the
surface charge by connecting a 300 ampere
load for 15 seconds.
② Connect
the
specified load.
③ Read the voltage after the load has been
applied for 15 seconds.
④ Disconnect the load.
⑤ Compare the voltage reading with the
minimum acceptable voltage shown in the
table below. If the voltage is greater than
shown in the table, the battery is good. If the
voltage is less than shown in the table,
replace the battery.
