poor ground connection.
NOTE: If the regulator rectifier is being tested
on the engine, check the ground quality using
the voltage drop test described elsewhere in this
section.
Batteries
1. Precautions: See Figure 7.32.
• Do not smoke or allow an open flame or heat
source near the battery.
• Charge batteries in an open area
• Wear eye protection and acid resistant gloves
when handling batteries.
• Do not allow direct metal contact across the
posts. This will produce extreme heat that may
cause direct burns or ignite flammable gas.
NOTE: The batteries used in Current Cub Cadet
equipment are sealed. It is not possible to check,
test or add fluid.
