Valid test. There is a version of it in the 55-56 quick checks section. Same caution applies: have engine at idle and slowly bring up speed until generator shows activity or not.

Grounding the field causes generator to put out maximum current which is substantial and can cause much damage if allowed more than a few seconds.
