The alternator system varies with the engine model. See
the engine manufacturer service information for proper
testing procedures.
The bail switch is a normally open switch. The contacts
close when the plunger is depressed (Fig. 1394).
Before performing any tests with a continuity
light or ohmmeter, disconnect the component
from the wire harness. This ensures you are test-
ing the component rather than another circuit.
Interlock modules MUST be removed from the
circuit before performing any tests with an ohm-
meter or continuity light. Battery voltage can
damage these modules if applied to the wrong
terminals.
