precautions
-

-
Chec
k
tension
of
alternator driving belt.
-
Check battery and
its connections.
As
the alternator
+
terminal is
always
live, never
earth
it, w
he
ther
the engine
is running
or
not;
other-
wise,
battery
would be short-
circuited.
-
'//hen
ignition
is switched on, never
run
a lterna
tor without its
+
terminal
be
ing connected to the
ba
ttery.
- Polarizing an alternator
is unnecessary,
si
nce
exc
i
tation
is
achieved
directly by the batt ery.
-
Energizing
is not
dependent
on remanent
magnetism
as
in the case of generators.
The presence of
th
e i
ndicator lamp,
however,
facilitates
energizing.
-
Disconnect
battery
before
removing alternator
or
r
egu
l ator,
- T ake care
not to allow
any oil
or li
quid in
cooling
air intakes.
The liquid
could
reac
h
the slip rings, and the
alternator
would no
longer be energized.
- Before connecting a charger to the battery,
disconnect the battery • cable,
-Never carry
out
any arc-welding
operation on
a
vehicle fitted with an alternator, unless
the
alternator wires
have
been previous 1
y
disconnected.
CH.::;CKING
HWCB.DURSS
Before undertaking any charge system
checking
operation, It is extremely important that the
temperature of the components of this system should
be stabilized.
This
stabilization
can be
achieved:
l.
by
using
the car nonnally, on the road,
for a
period of at least 30
minutes;
2.
in
the workshop, by idling the engine for
approximately 20 minutes, this being followed
by
a
period of 10
minutes
at a slightly
accelerated speed (1200 r.p.m,) after short-
circuiting the regulator •
and
EXC terminals,
CAUTION: do not
exceed
the engine speed
prescribed
for this last stage,
