CHECKING SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1 Read hydrometer and thermal gauge indica-
tions
as eye level.
Read top level with scale.
CAUTION:
a. If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a
12-volt booster battery
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F)
Example
e When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F)
and specific gravity of electolyte is 1230,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
Check
- Hydrometer 1 240
When electrolyte temperature
is 0°C (32°F)
and specific gravity of electrolyte
is 1.210,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
1.196.

Trouble-Shooting
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery IS fully charged A 30-Volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test The alternator can
be checked easily by referrmg to the

CAUTION:
Do
not attempt to remove valves from actuator.
2 Connect battery (approx 12V) to harness
connector
of actuator as shown below, and
apply vacuum to actuator
If diaphragm moves smoothly, actuator IS O.K.
CAUTION.
When checking actuator by applying vacuum, do
not apply engine vacuum directly
as it IS too strong
to check actuator properly.
