Cables and cable lugs must not get in contact with other metal parts. Replace broken or damaged cables and the respective cable lugs.

Risk of injury caused by battery acid and gases.

Wear goggles, working gloves and firm working clothing.

Carry out voltage and continuity checks only by means of a test lamp or a measuring instrument. Do not check by "touching ground" with a bare wire. The short-circuit thus produced damages the alternator and the electronic modules of the PMS.

Alternator - Instructions

Never disconnect cables from the alternator, regulator and the battery when the engine is running to avoid damage to the alternator and regulator.

Do not interchange the cables when connecting the battery (observe polarity).

Carry out voltage and continuity checks only by means of a test lamp or a measuring instrument. Do not check by "touching ground" with a bare wire. The short-circuit thus produced damages the alternator and the regulator.
