Description & Operation: Notes
WARNING:
During battery removal or before carrying out any repairs or maintenance to electrical components always disconnect the battery negative lead first. If the positive lead is disconnected with the negative lead in place, accidental contact of the wrench to any grounded metal part could cause severe spark, possibly resulting in personal injury. Upon installation of the battery the positive lead should be connected first.
NOTE:
Battery polarity is NEGATIVE GROUND, which must be maintained at all times.
No separate control unit is fitted; instead a voltage regulator of microcircuit construction is incorporated on the slip ring end bracket, inside the alternator cover.
Battery voltage is applied to the alternator output cable even when the ignition is switched off, the battery must be disconnected before commencing any work on the alternator. The battery must also be disconnected when repairs to the body structure are being carried out using electric welding equipment.
