WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO CHECK THE VOLTMETER ON THE RIG?
- ENGINE RUNNING FOR 2 MINS @ 700-800 RPM
- VOLTMETER SHOULD READ 13.5-14.2
- READING OF 14.8 NOTIFY FLEET SERVICE
With the engine running at 700 to 800 rpm for 2 minutes, the voltmeter will show a reading of 13.5 to 14.2 volts, indicating that the battery is charging. A reading of 14.8 volts or higher would indicate that the system is over-charging and Fleet Services Division should be notified.
With the engine off, a reading of 12 volts or higher indicates the battery has a sufficient charge.
