each line current should be similar.

5.6 DC Electrical System

WARNING

Combustible Gases

Ignition of battery gases is a fire and explosion hazard which can cause

severe personal injury or death.

Do not smoke, or switch the trouble light ON or OFF near a battery. Touch a

grounded metal surface first before touching batteries to discharge static

electricity. Stop the generator set and disconnect the battery charger before

disconnecting battery cables. Using an insulated wrench, disconnect the

negative (–) cable first and reconnect it last.

1. Check the harness connections. If any harness connections are damaged,

contact your service representative.

2. Check the terminals on the batteries for clean and tight connections. Loose or

corroded connections create resistance, which can hinder starting. Clean and

reconnect the battery cables if loose, using an insulated wrench. Always

disconnect both ends of the negative battery cable. Reconnect one end of the

cable to the negative battery terminal and the other end to ground. This will

make sure that any arcing will be away from the battery and least likely to ignite

explosive battery gases.

3. Check connections at the battery charging alternator.

4. Visually inspect the alternator belt to make sure it is not loose or cracked.
