Battery Charging System Precautions
Obey the procedures below to prevent damage to the
alternator and battery.
1 Ensure that the battery negative terminal is
connected to the earthing cable.
2 Never make or break connections to the battery or
alternator, or any part of the charging circuit whilst the
engine is running. Disregarding this instruction will
result in damage to the regulator or rectifying diodes.
3 Main output cables are 'live' even when the engine is
not running. Take care not to earth connectors in the
moulded plug if it is removed from the alternator.
4 When arc welding on the machine, protect the
alternator by removing the moulded plug (or if
separate output cables fitted, remove the cables).
5 If slave starting is necessary, connect the second
battery in parallel without disconnecting the vehicle
battery from the charging circuit. The slave battery
may then be safely removed after a start has been
obtained. Take care to connect batteries positive to
positive, negative to negative.
