POWERLINKt SYSTEM

Some V-Twin engines are equipped with the Power-

LinktSystem, an on-board generator system for

riding tractors that provides 120 volt, 60 cycle AC to

a GFCI receptacle provided by the OEM.

The PowerLinkt system will not function unless the

parking brake on the tractor is ENGAGED (1), Fig.

52, and the PTO on the tractor is OFF. The Power-

Linkt system will shut down if there is a system or

temperature overload, or if there is a ground fault.

Resetting PowerLinkt System

NOTE: Turn OFF or unplug any device or appliance

that was connected to the PowerLinkt

System. Verify that the reset button on the

GFCI has not been tripped.

1. The engine must be running with the parking

brake set and the PTO DISENGAGED.

2. Actuate the PowerLinkt reset switch. Move the

reset switch to the OFF position, then return it to

the ON position. For operator safety there is a

two second delay in power to the GFCI

receptacle after reset.

Test PowerLinkt System Ground Continuity

Digital Multimeter #19464 is used to test the ground

circuits.

With the meter in the +

))))) (DIODE TEST) position,

and the test leads attached to the grounds, a

CONTINUOUS TONE indicates CONTINUITY

(complete circuit). NO TONE indicates NO

CONTINUITY (open circuit). Open circuits are

displayed as OL.

1. Insert RED test lead into V receptacle in meter.

2. Insert BLACK test lead into COM receptacle.

3. Test for continuity between the inverter case and

the engine frame, Fig. 35.
