Diode Assembly
A diode assembly is used in the Reelmaster main wire
harness(Fig. 62).The diodeisused forcircuitprotection
from voltagespikes that occur when thestarter solenoid
is de- energized.
Testing
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, lower the cutting units and stop the en-
gine. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Locate diode assembly near alternator on engine
andremove cabletiethat securesdiode towireharness.
Unplug the diode from the wire harness for testing.
3. The diode (Fig. 63) can be tested using a digital
multimeter (diode test orohms setting) and the tablebe-
low.

4. If testing determines that diode is faulty, replace
diode assembly.
5. After diode testing is complete, makesure that diode
is fully installed into wire harness connector and se-
cured to harness with cable tie.
