AlternatorAlternator
The alternator supplies electrical power to electronic
controls and charges the battery. Its built-in regulator
controls voltage output. (Figure 5-11)
Figure 5-11. Alternator
Use the following precautions to prevent damage to the
alternator or regulator:
• Never polarize the alternator.
• Never ground any alternator terminals or circuits.
• Always disconnect the battery before disconnecting
or connecting the alternator.
• Never disconnect the alternator while machine is
operating.
• Ensure wiring is properly connected before
connecting the battery.
• Always connect a booster battery in the proper
polarity: negative (-) to negative (-) and positive (+) to
positive (+).
LightingLighting
Inspect lights for proper operation daily. If a light or
group of lights does not function:
• Check the fuse box panel for a blown fuse.
• Examine all visible wiring connections, ensuring they
are not frayed or damaged, and securely fastened.
• Check lighting mounts for proper ground.
• Remove light lens or casing and check bulb. Replace
if needed.
• Inspect wiring harness for damage (see Schematics
in Section 6).
If broken wires are found, solder together and cover with
a shrink-wrap type of plastic covering (preferred) or
electrician’s tape to prevent contamination of the solder
joint by moisture.
If you make any repairs to the wiring harness on the
broom, always replace or repair the protective loom
covering the wiring to prevent future damage to the
wiring harness. Examine the routing of the harness and
ensure it is not subjected to excessive movement, which
often causes broken wiring.
Cold Weather StartingCold Weather Starting
Be sure to keep the battery fully
charged during cold weather to keep it from freezing.
Freezing weather has little effect on a fully charged
battery.
If a booster battery is necessary for cold weather
starting:
1. Connect one end of the rst jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the dead battery and the
other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the booster battery and the
other end to the frame of the machine with the dead
battery.
