Amperage Output Test

  1. 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 2000-3000 RPM and apply load until generator output levels off.
  2. Record maximum generator output current. See GENERATOR OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS table for output values. If generator output is 10-20 percent of rated output amperage, generator output is okay. If generator does not produce rated output, go to VOLTAGE OUTPUT TEST.
