Charging Coil Selection

Four types of coils are available:
Coil Output (A)
1A 0.9
3A 2.7
10A 9.5
18A 17.0
The 1A and 3A coils are only suitable for recharging a starting battery. Use the 10A or 18A coils when powering
accessories.

Lamp Coil Kit (optional)

Three types of lamp coils are available: 6v –25w, 12v –15w, 12v –25w. Two coils can be installed in parallel to provide
12V-50W, if no charging coils are applied. Use parallel connector (No. 32105-ZE1-000) to connect two coils in parallel.
A single coil (12v-25w) can be used in combination with the 3A charge coil as required.
®
Oil Alert System (optional)
The Oil Alert System uses a float type switch located inside the crankcase. When the engine oil level falls below a safe
operating level, the float falls and the circuit is completed through the control box, grounding the primary side of the
ignition coil. The Oil Alert System is only recommended for use on equipment that is stationary while operating.
