Alternator

The alternator is sensitive to incorrect
connections. The connecting poles of the battery
must never be mixed up by mistake. The poles
are distinctly marked with (+) or (-). Incorrect
connection immediately damages the rectifier in
the alternator.
Make sure that cable lugs and poles are clean,
well tightened and greased with Vaseline or
similar.
Welding
NOTE!
Welding on the machine is not allowed. If welding
on the machine is needed, it has to be approved by
Volvo Construction Equipment. Otherwise all
additional welding is under customer
responsibilities. Any unauthorized welding could
lead to a loss of warranty.
