    Multimeter The meter can test electrical components and circuits for current, resistance, or voltage draw. NOTE: Toro recommends the use of a DIGITAL Volt– Ohm–Amp mutli–meter when testing electrical circuits. The high impedance (internal resistance) of a digital me- ter will ensure that excess current is not allowed through the meter.
