Tools required for Pad pressure adjustment
1) ¾ open end wrench
2) Clamp on Amp Meter
 It is necessary to use a clamp on AMP Meter when
adjusting the pad pressure.
 There are many different manufactures and
models of AMP Meters to choose from. Two AMP
Meters are shown above. The one on the left is
AMPROBE Model ACDC-610 and the one on the
left is AMPROBE Model ACDC-400.

Checking the Pad Motor Amperage

 First install a new pad on the pad driver. Caution:
Checking the Amps with a used pad will cause the
machine to have high amps when a new pad is
installed.
 Lower the Pad Motor into the operating position
and open the cover over the battery compartment.
 Put the clamp on AMP Meter around the red
(positive) wire coming from the battery pack to the
machine as shown.
 While running the machine read the amp meter.
The amp meter should be reading between 70-80
amps for the Charger 2717 DB & 50-70 amps for
the Charger 2022 DB.
