 CHARGING VOLTAGE INSPECTION

 Be sure that the battery is in good condition
 before performing this test.

 Do not disconnect the battery or any
   cable in the charging system without first
   switching off the ignition switch. Failure
   to follow this precaution can damage the
   tester or electrical components.

 Start the engine and warm it up to the
 operating temperature; stop the engine.
 Connect the multi-meter between the positive
 and negative terminals of the battery.

 To prevent short, make absolutely certain
 which are the positive and negative terminals
 or cable.
 With the headlight on and turned to the high
 beam position, restart the engine.
 Measure the voltage on the multi-meter when
 the engine runs at 5000 min-1 (rpm).
