(regardless of which vehicle has the discharged
battery),
and THEN
attach
to
the right
radiator mounting bracket in THIS vehicle -
thus taking advantage of the battery's flame
arrestor feature, should a spark occur.
6. Start engine in the vehicle that is pro-
viding the jump start (if it was not running) .
Let run a few minutes, then start the engine in
the vehicle that has the discharged battery .
7. Reverse the above sequence EXACTLY
when removing the jumper cables, taking care
to remove the cable from the right radiator
mounting bracket
in
THIS vehicle as the FIRST
step.

GENERATOR QUICK CHECK
When
generator
tell-tale
light
is
on,
following procedure will aid in determining
cause of problem:
1. With
vehicle
not
running,
attach
voltmeter leads across automotive battery
terminals, the red lead to the battery positive
(+) terminal and the black lead to the battery
ground (-) terminal .
2 . Check voltage reading . If battery is fully
charged,
voltage
reading
should
be
approximately
12 .6
volts.
If
battery
is
discharged, voltage will be less .
GENERATING SYSTEM
caps, or is not a sealed - type maintenance-
free battery, one of the following alternatives
should be followed :
A . If the battery in the other vehicle is
equipped with flame arrestors, follow the
procedure above but make the final connection
at the other vehicle's battery .
Then when
removing cables, remove connection first from
the other vehicle's battery .
B. If neither battery has . flame arrestor
caps, remove the filler/vent caps from the
battery in this vehicle and place a disposable
cloth over the filler openings.
Follow the
procedure above but make the final connection
on
this
vehicle's right radiator
mounting
bracket .

3. Crank the engine. With engine running at
fast idle, there should be an immediate voltage
rise to approximately 13 .6 to 14 .2 volts. This
indicates that the generator is functioning . If
voltage does not rise when engine is started,
then problem exists in generator circuit itself .
To check, refer to "Generating System Trouble
Symptoms," Sec. 6Y, Maintenance Manual X-
7525 .
If voltage rises to 13 .6 volts or above when
engine is started, but tell-tale light remains
on, then problem exists in tell-tale circuit.
Proceed to check tell-tale warning circuit.
