Important Instructions Regarding Alternator

LX1036509-UN-19OCT05

NOTE: The alternator is equipped with overvoltage protection.

If engine is to be run for a short time without battery (using a slave battery for starting), do not run engine at a speed above 1000 rpm. Furthermore, use additional current (lights) while engine is running.

With the battery removed and when starting by means of a slave battery, insulate the battery end of the disconnected starter cable. This will avoid damage to the alternator and regulator.

Slave battery cables must be connected only to the poles provided for this purpose.

With the engine running, do not short-circuit or ground the alternator and regulator even momentarily.

Connect battery and charger with the correct polarity. If they are improperly connected (”+” and ”-”), the rectifier diodes will be destroyed immediately.

Before carrying out any electro-welding jobs on the tractor, disconnect the two cables at the alternator and at the battery.

Connect ground terminal of welding apparatus directly to the part being welded.

Before carrying out repairs on electrical system, disconnect battery ground strap. This will avoid the danger of a short circuit.
