Notes on the three-phase system:
● When the engine is running, never disconnect
the cables between battery, alternator and
regulator.
● Where it is, however, necessary, to start and
operate the engine without battery, disconnect
the regulator from the alternator before
starting.
● Be sure not to confuse the battery terminals.
● Renew a defective charging pilot light bulb
immediately.
● Engine cleaning: Do not spray with water/
steam jet directly against alternator!
Warm up engine to allow water residues to
evaporate.
● Do no loosen connecting cable between battery
and alternator during engine operation.
● The habit of touching a lead against frame to
check whether it is live must under no
circumstances be applied with a three-phase
electric system.
● In case of electric welding, connect the earth
terminal of the welding unit direct to the part to
be welded.
