Charging Procedure
If battery voltage is 12.6 Vdc or less, the battery may
need recharging. When using an automatic charger, refer
to the charger manufacturer’s instructions for recharging.
Do not exceed 6 amps when charging the 4011224
battery.
NOTE: Charge the battery using an automatic
charger that will not exceed 14.6 Vdc. An automatic
charger will signal when charging is complete.
Allow the battery to stand disconnected for at least
1-2 hours after being properly charged. If the voltage
drops below 12.6 volts, charging was ineffective or
the battery needs to be replaced.
WARNING
An overheated battery could explode, causing severe
injury or death. Always watch charging times carefully.
Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the
touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.

STARTING SYSTEM
Troubleshooting
Starter Motor Does Not Run
• Battery discharged
• Loose or faulty battery cables or corroded
connections (see Voltage Drop Tests)
• Related wiring loose, disconnected, or corroded
• Poor ground connections at battery cable, starter
motor or starter solenoid (see Voltage Drop Tests)
• Faulty key switch
• Faulty starter solenoid or starter motor
• Engine problem - seized or binding (can engine be
rotated easily)
Starter Motor Turns Over Slowly
• Battery discharged
• Excessive circuit resistance - poor connections
(see Voltage Drop Test)
• Engine problem - seized or binding (can engine be
rotated easily)
• Faulty or worn brushes in starter motor
Starter Motor Turns - Engine Does Not Rotate
• Faulty starter drive
• Faulty starter drive gears or starter motor gear
• Faulty flywheel gear or loose flywheel
Voltage Drop Test
The Voltage Drop Test is used to test for bad
connections. When performing the test, you are testing
the amount of voltage drop through the connection. A
poor or corroded connection will appear as a high
voltage reading. Voltage shown on the meter when
testing connections should not exceed 0.1 VDC per
connection or component.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be tested.
Refer to the voltage drop tests on the starter system in
this chapter.
Voltage should not exceed
0.1 DC volts per connection
