Generator Load Test

Ensure drive belt is in good condition. Replace belt as necessary. If belt is okay, connect charging system load tester in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM, and apply load until generator output levels off. For minimum amperage with engine at 2000 RPM, see GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS . If output is not at or above specification, see SYMPTOM INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
