Charging System
When the engine is running, the ammeter needle (refer

“0” is discharging.
On machines with General Motors engines, when the
engine is running, the voltmeter should indicate between
12.5 and 14 volts.
Cold Weather Start Kit
If the machine is equipped with an optional engine block
heater, radiator hose in-line heater, visually inspect the
heater and power cord. Inspect for leaks around the
heater and for damage to the power cord.
