Operation:
Before initial starting of the TL Battery
Charger, check all the fuel connections, oil
level, battery water level, wire connections
and fuses. Fuses that are to be checked are
located on the battery charger and the Uni¬
volt. A 3 amp fuse (E) and 50 amp fuse (F)
are located on the battery charger (see
photos). Three are located on the Univolt; a
40 amp fuse Car Battery + (pos.), a 50 amp
fuse Trailer Battery + (pos.) and a 50 amp
fuse Trailer Battery - (neg.). See schematic on
page 65. Check the air inlet and outlets for
obstructions which could cause overheating.
Be sure the crankcase has been filled with oil.
Oil level is 1/8 inch below top of fill opening
when the unit is level. Pour oil slowly to
prevent trapping air. See Maintenance and
Service Section for all types and complete
lubricating soil recommendations.
