Precautions when working on the charging system

Before doing any work on the charging system, you should familiarize yourself with the following safety precautions:

1. Never disconnect the battery or voltage regulator while the engine and generator are running.

2. Never short the excitation terminal of the generator or the cable attached to it to ground.

3. Never confuse voltage regulator wires.

4. Never turn on the voltage regulator if it is connected to ground (instant damage).

5. Never remove the generator unless the battery is disconnected from the circuit.

6. When installing the battery, make sure that the negative terminal is connected to ground.

7. Never use a voltage indicator that is connected directly to the household network (110 or 220 V). Use only a 12V indicator.

8. If the battery is charged in the installed state by the charger, both battery cables must be disconnected. Connect the positive terminal of the charger to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery.

9. Incorrect wiring leads to the destruction of the rectifier and voltage regulator.
