6.14ALTERNATOR MAINTENANCE
The alternator used on this model generator is type
synchronous, self-excited. This type of brushless
alternator without manifold does not requireany particular
maintenance.
Periodic inspections and maintenance are limited to
eliminating any traces of moisture and oxidation
which may damage it.
6.15 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Before installing a new battery, it is important that it
first be fully recharged.
Have the battery activated by personnel who have
sulphuric acid for batteries and suitable equipment
available.
At least once a month check the level of the electrolyte
and, if necessary, top up with distilled water.If the
generator is not used for a long period of time, it is
advisable to disconnect it andstore it in a dry place at a
temperature above 10°C (50°F), and to carry out a full
recharging cycle once a month.
When topping up the batteries with distilled water,
wear rubber gloves and protective goggles to
prevent accidentalcontact of sulphuric acidwith the
skin. In the event of accidental contact, thoroughly
wash the affected part with soap and water and
consult a doctor.
If the battery is left completely flatforlong periods
of time,it may beirreparably damaged.
Before proceeding with recharging the batteries,
check the level of electrolyte and, if necessary, top
up with distilled water. This operation must be
repeated when the charging cycle has been
completed.Cover the positive terminalwith Vaseline
to protect it against corrosion and the formation of
oxide.
