3. Depress the tester buon repeatedly until the
correct test number appears on the display. Aer
a few seconds, the test number will flash three
times and the test will begin. A reverse numerical
sequence will be displayed, starting with a 6 and
progressing down to 1, followed by a “P” (pass)
or “F” (fail), indicating the condition of the part.
See Figures 7-14 and 7-15.
4. If you get a “-“ sign instead of the numerical
sequence, and/or an “F” at the end of the test
cycle, recheck all of the connections, check the
condition of the tester baery* and repeat the test.
If you get the “-“or “F” sign again in the retest
replace the DSAM.

Allow 15-20 seconds for the tester to clear and reset
itself between tests or if the test is interrupted before
completion of the test cycle. Otherwise, a false reading
may be displayed in the form of a “-” or a faint “8”.

** The tester is powered by a 9-volt baery.
Most SAM’s are designed to operate down to
a minimum of 7.25 volts. If the tester baery
drops below that level, incorrect test readings
will result. The tester baery should be checked
periodically by connecting a DC voltmeter
between the red and green lead wires, with the
tester connected to a DSAM. Start the appropriate
test sequence. While the test is running monitor
the voltage reading on the voltmeter. If the
voltage drops below 7.5 at any time during the
cycle, the 9-volt tester baery must be replaced.
Use an extended life (alkaline) baery.
To replace the baery, remove the outer set of screws
on the faceplate and carefully li the panel from the
body. Unplug the connector and pull baery (with
mounting tape) off the back of the tester. Aach the
connector to the new baery and mount the baery
to the case with double-backed tape. Reinstall the
faceplate and secure with the four screws.

Most engines are equipped with a 15 amp regulated
charging system. Some have a 25 amp regulated
charging system. See Figure 7-16, 7-17, and 7-18 for
the wiring/charging system diagrams of ignition
systems.
NOTE: Observe the following guidelines to
avoid damage to the electrical system and
components:
• Make sure the baery polarity is correct. A
negative (-) ground system is used.
• Disconnect the rectifier-regulator plug and/
or the wiring harness plug before doing any
electric welding on the equipment powered by
the engine. Also, disconnect all other electrical
accessories in common ground with the engine.
• Prevent the stator (AC) leads from touching or
shorting while the engine is running. This could
damage the stator.
