Before testing a Bobcat drive motor, it is important to ensure that the vehicle is in good working condition and that all safety precautions are taken. To test the drive motor, first connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Next, start the engine and let it idle for two minutes. Then, turn on the headlights and turn off all other accessories. With the headlights still on, rev the engine to around 2,000 RPM and hold it there for five seconds. Finally, check the voltmeter reading. If it is between 13-14 volts, then the drive motor is functioning properly.
