WIRING DIAGRAM FOR ENGINE SYSTEM
Your engine is of 12V system and its electric circuit is as shown in
the diagram in pocket of back cover.
For
installing electrical parts, connect them correctly by referring
to the diagram and at the same time check for damaged wire sheathing
and confirm that grounding is provided properly.
Care must always be
taken while working on the electrical system.
Never shut the engine battery switch off while the engine is running.
Damage to the battery charging alternator will result should this be
done.
GENE RATOR COMPONENT OF GENERATOR SET
All generators for the inherently regulated series (4, 7.5, 11, 12.5)
are
identical
in design and alike except for
length of the various
sizes.
Wear iog and replaceable parts are similar throughout.

It is necessary only to give correct model and serial number to obtain
correct parts from your local Dealer or Distributor.
Occasionally when a generator set is started, there will be no voltage
build-up.
When this occurs,
the fields must be flashed to restore
residual magnetism.
The fields may be flashed with a
6
or 12 volt
battery as follows:
stop the engine; remove the generator end cover.
