Perform tests at normal operating temperatures. Engine should be accelerated gradually to desired testing RPM and returned to lower RPM as soon as possible. Do NOT race engine.

CAUTION: Never disconnect battery or alternator leads while alternator is running. Reverse polarity or excessive voltage will severely damage the charging system.
