Important Instructions Regarding Alternator

NOTE: The alternator is equipped with overvoltage protection.

Cable connections:

  • Red cable to B+ (A)
  • Green cable to D+ (B)
  • 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. Switch on an additional consumer (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 in order to 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 electrical welding jobs on the machine, disconnect both cables at alternator. 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.
