Amperage Output Test
- Ensure drive belt is in good condition and properly tightened. Connect charging system load tester in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Start and run engine at 2500-3000 RPM and apply load until generator output levels off.
- Record maximum generator output current. See GENERATOR OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table below for output values. If generator output is within 20 percent of rated output amperage, generator output is okay. If generator does not produce rated output, go to VOLTAGE OUTPUT TEST .
