Electrical System Quick Checks<br />
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)<br />
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the<br />
battery terminals.<br />
Set the multimeter to the DC volts setting. The battery<br />
should be at a temperature of 60 o to 100 o F(16 o to 38 o<br />
C). The ignition key should be in the OFF position and<br />
all accessories turned off. Connect the positive (+) meter<br />
lead to the positive battery post and the negative (--)<br />
meter lead to the negative battery post.<br />
Voltage Measured Battery Charge Level<br />
12.68 v (or higher) Fully charged (100%)<br />
12.45 v 75% charged<br />
12.24 v 50% charged<br />
12.06 v 25% charged<br />
11.89 v 0% charged<br />
NOTE: This test provides a relative condition of the battery.<br />
Load testing of the battery will provide additional<br />
and more accurate information.<br />
Charging System Test<br />
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging system<br />
is functioning. It will tell you if a charging system has<br />
an output, but not its capacity.<br />
Use a multimeter set to the DC volts setting. Connect the<br />
positive (+) meter lead to the positive battery post and<br />
the negative (--) meter lead to the negative battery post.<br />
Leave the test leads connected and record the battery<br />
voltage.<br />
NOTE: Upon starting the engine, the battery voltage<br />
will drop and then should increase once the engine is<br />
running.<br />
Start the engine and run at high idle (3050 -- 3150 RPM).<br />
Allow the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record<br />
the battery voltage.<br />
Test results should be (example):<br />
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.<br />
Initial Battery Voltage<br />
= 12.30 v<br />
Battery Voltage after 3 Minute Charge = 12.80 v<br />
Difference<br />
= +0.50 v<br />
NOTE: Depending upon the condition of the battery<br />
charge and battery temperature, the charging system<br />
voltage will increase at different rates as the battery<br />
charges.<br />
Neutral Switch Operation<br />
CAUTION<br />
Do not disconnect neutral interlock switch. It is<br />
for the operator’s protection. Check the operation<br />
of the switch daily for proper operation. Replace<br />
malfunctioning neutral interlock switch<br />
before operating the machine.<br />
Neutral switch operation is described in the <strong>Multi</strong> <strong>Pro</strong><br />
<strong>5700</strong>--D Operator’s Manual. Testing of the neutral<br />
switch is included in the Component Testing section of<br />
this Chapter.<br />
