Check the generator voltage

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative pole of the battery.

2. Start the engine. The voltage during start-up must come down to 8 (when the outside temperature of + 20 ?� C).

3. Raise the engine speed to 3000 rev / min. The voltage should be 13.5 - 14.5 V. It is proof that the generator and control work. Power generator (onboard pressure) must be greater than the battery voltage to operate during battery charging.

4. Check the stability of the regulator. To do this, turn on the high beam and repeat the measurement at 3000 rev / min. The measured voltage must not exceed the previously measured more than 0.4 V.

5. If the measured values lie outside the specified value, test the generator at the station.
