Charging System

When the engine is running, the ammeter needle (refer

to Figure 7.6) should be to the right of “0.” Left of the

“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.
