Technical data

(ii) Holding Test
With the battery connected between the S terminal of the
solenoid switch and the body, manually move the pinion
out of the stopper position. If the pinion does not move
back to its original position, the switch is good.
(iii) Return Test
With the battery connected between the M terminal of
the solenoid switch and the body, manually move the
pinion out of the stopper position. If the pinion returns to
its original position as soon as it is released, the switch is
good.
In the above tests, do not supply current for more than 10
seconds.
3. Alternator
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A HIGH-VOLTAGE TESTER SUCH AS A MEGGER; OTHERWISE A
DAMAGED DIODE RESULTS.
DURING HIGH-SPEED OPERATION OF THE ENGINE, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY FROM THE (A) TERMINAL
OF THE REGULATOR. A VOLTAGE SURGE WILL OCCUR THAT WILL DAMAGE
ALTERNATOR DIODES SHOULD THESE CONNECTIONS BE OPENED.
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WITH THE LEAD DISCONNECTED FROM THE (B)
TERMINAL OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE INTERNAL REGULATOR VOLTAGE COIL
WILL BE DAMAGED.
WHEN MAKING A RAPID CHARGE OF BATTERY USING A QUICK CHARGER, BE
SURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES; OTHERWISE DAMAGED
ALTERNATOR DIODES WILL RESULT.
WHEN USING A STEAM CLEANER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRECT
CONTACT OF STEAM WITH THE ALTERNATOR.
The charging system consists of an alternator with internal voltage regulator, engine mounted
circuit breaker, battery and connecting wires.
