b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-tery and start charging.
TIP
Set the charging voltage to 16–17 V.If the set-
ting is lower, charging will be insufficient. If too
high, the battery will be over-charged.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, set the charg-
ing voltage adjust dial at 20–24 V and monitor
the amperage for 3–5 minutes to check the bat-
tery.
d. Adjust the voltage so that the current is at
the standard charging level.
e. Set the time according to the charging time suitable for the open-circuit voltage.
f. If charging requires more than 5 hours, it is advisable to check the charging current after
a lapse of 5 hours. If there is any change in
the amperage, readjust the voltage to obtain
the standard charging current.
g. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-
ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.

Charging method using a constant volt-
age charger
a. Measure the open-circuit voltage prior to charging.
TIP
Voltage should be measured 30 minutes after
the engine is stopped.
b. Connect a charger and ammeter to the bat-tery and start charging.
c. Make sure that the current is higher than the
standard charging current written on the bat-
tery.
TIP
If the current is lower than the standard charg-
ing current written on the battery, this type of
battery charger cannot charge the VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery. A variable volt-
age charger is recommended.
d. Charge the battery until the battery’s charg-ing voltage is 15 V.
TIP
Set the charging time at 20 hours (maximum).
e. Measure the battery open-circuit voltage af-ter leaving the battery unused for more than
30 minutes.

EAS2GB2390CHECKING THE IGNITION SPARK GAP
1. Check:
• Ignition spark gap
Out of specification  Perform the ignition
system troubleshooting, starting with step 4.
Refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” on page 9-
4.
TIP
If the ignition spark gap is within specification,
the ignition system circuit is operating normally.

a. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark
plug.
b. Connect the ignition checker “1” as shown.
c. Push the engine stop switch.
d. Measure the ignition spark gap “a”.
e. Crank the engine by pushing the start switch
and gradually increase the spark gap until a
misfire occurs.
