9960 Self-Propelled Peanut Combine Electrical System
MAN091 06/03/05 165
Starter/Alternator
Starter
If the starter fails to operate or operates
sluggishly, the cause may not be in the starter
but in one of the following:
• Loose, dirty, or corroded cables and wires.
• Low battery output.
• Run down batteries.
• Crankcase oil of wrong viscosity.
Remove the panel behind the peanut bin to
get to the starter.
If these checks do not correct the problem,
see your AMADAS/John Deere dealer.
Alternator and Voltage Regulator
If you perform any maintenance on the
alternator or regulator:
• ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground
cable.
• The combine is equipped with a 95 AMP
alternator. NEVER attempt to polarize the
alternator or regulator.
• NEVER ground a terminal or connect a
jumper wire to alternator terminals.
• NEVER connect or disconnect alternator
wires with batteries connected or alternator
operating.
