meter lead to the disconnected circuit 570 wire and the negative
meter lead to ground.
He places the battery switch to the ON
position, cranks the engine, and depresses the ether start switch
while observing the meter.
Since battery voltage is indicated, SGT
Ritz has determined that the ether valve is defective and needs to be
replaced.
The procedure for replacing the ether valve is contained

Indicator, Gage, and Warning System Troubleshooting.
In the
following paragraphs we will follow SSG Gilbert as he troubleshoots
the indicator, gage, and warning system for the malfunction LOW AIR

defective and needs to be replaced.
As in all the previous troubleshooting procedures, the first thing
that SSG Gilbert does is read DA Form 2404 and talk to the operator.
Once he has verified the existence of the malfunction, he reads
through the troubleshooting procedures to determine what tools will
be required to accomplish this task.
For this particular
troubleshooting malfunction, SSG Gilbert will need a mechanic's
general toolbox and a multimeter. Once the necessary tools have been
gathered together, SSG Gilbert configures the vehicle according to
the items listed in paragraphs 3a(l) thru 3a(5) on page 34 of this
task. Now that these preliminary procedures have been completed, SSG
Gilbert is now ready to begin the actual troubleshooting procedures.
Step 1.
