PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

Engine will not Battery installed incor-

crankrectly

Battery is dead or weak

Blown fuse or circuit breaker

CORRECTIVE ACTION

The battery must be installed with negative terminal attached to black ground wire. Negative terminal is identified at the post by "NEG", "N" or "-". The positive terminal, identified by "POS", "P" or "+", must be attached to the big red wire which goes to the solenoid.

Check fluid level in battery. If fluid is low, fill to UPPER LEVEL line with water. Charge with taper charger until fully charged.

Replace fuse with 7-1/2 amp. automotive type fuse. Fuses seldom fail without a reason. The problem must be corrected. Check for loose connections in the fuse holder. Replace fuse holder if necessary. A

dead short may be in the cranking or charging circuit where the insulation may have rubbed through and exposed the bare wire. Replace the wire or repair with electrician's tape if the wire strands have not been damaged.

Note: Look for a wire pinched between body panels, burned by the exhaust pipe or muffler or rubbed against a moving part.
