When installing the bracket, apply a non-permanent lock-
ing agent to the bracket mounting screws and tighten
them securely.
Regulator/Rectifier Inspection
•
With the hand tester set to the R × 1 kΩ range, test the
regulator/rectifier according the following table.

If a
ny of the values obtained do not agree with the above
table, the regulator/rectifier must be replaced.
Regulator Inspection
○
To test the regulator out of circuit, use three 12 V batteries
and a test light (12 V 3 ∼6 W bulb in a socket with leads).
CAUTION
The test light works as an indicator and also as a
current limiter to protect the regulator/rectifier from
excessive current. Do not use an ammeter instead
of a test light.
•
Do the 1st step regulator circuit test.
○
Connect the test light and the 12 V battery to the regula-
tor/rectifier as shown.
○
Check infinity (∼) terminals respectively.
If the test light turns on, the regulator/rectifier is defective.
Replace it.
If the test light does not turn on, continue the test.
