(ET) lift motor currents



With temps all the way into the 40's today I did a quick test and found that the front lift motor (on 18 volts) was taking 15 amps just reeling in the strap. As soon as it started lifting the deck, it went up to 25 amps - at which point the test was aborted until I have a higher capacity meter on hand. The 30 amp slo-blow fuse seems to be sized for a reason.

And for kicks measured the headlights: ~3.3 amps
