STARTER CIRCUIT
STARTER AVERAGE CURRENT
SlWlCE-R TEST 71
1. Start Test 71, Starter Average Current.
2. Displayed reading is in amps. The starter
should draw at least 200 amps with a peak of
over 400 amps.
I
BATTERY CURRENT
MULTIMETER
1 1. Bet the voltmeter to a DC volts scale of about 1
I volt.
2. Connect the BLACK lead to the battery side of
the current shunt and the RED lead to the
other end of the current shunt.
3. Current shunt voltage is proportional to battery
current, 100 milliiolts = 1,000 amps. To get
current, multiply millivolts x 10.
BAlTERY VOLTAGE
SIB/ICE-R TEST 67
1. Start Test 67, Battery Voltage.
2. Displayed reading is in volts. Batteries should
be 23-25.5 volts. Batteries voltage will drop
when glow plugs turn on.
BAlTERY VOLTAGE
MULTIMETER
I
1. Set the voltmeter to a DC volts scale of at
least 40 volts.
2. Connect the RED lead to positive and the
BLACK lead to negative.
3. Be sure to read the correct scale.
