Alternator
WARNING! Even short-time engine operation with the battery
disconnected can lead to damage of alternator diodes.
Removing the alternator for maintenance, switch off the
battery by disconnecting the wire from its negative terminal.
Keep the alternator clean. Air bleed it to remove dust, check
the brush assembly condition. Replace worn-out brushes.
During operation of the alternator, the alternator drive belt
tension should be monitored.
Check alternator operations with a voltmeter reading and the
battery discharge dashboard warning lamp.
In case of a malfunction, check the alternator operations at
a service station.
Battery
The battery is installed on a bracket under the engine hood
of the vehicle.
If during the proper operation of the vehicle, the battery is
gradually discharged or overcharged by the alternator, and the
electrolyte starts boiling, check the alternator operations.
Keep the battery clean and charged, protect the battery clips
and the cable terminals from oxidation.
Periodically clean vent orifices in the plugs, check electrolyte
level and add distilled water as required.
Before operation, correct electrolyte density, corresponding
to the climate area of the vehicle operation (see the Battery
Operating Manual).
At the factory, the vehicle is supplied with a battery with
density of 1.28 g/cm3.
Do not allow long battery discharge by a large current pwer
(when starting a cold engine in winter time).
Thoroughly prepare the engine for starting and turn on the
starter only for a short period of time — no more than 15 seconds.
Operate the battery in accordance with the Battery Operating
Manual.
During long parking of the vehicle, turn off the battery by
disconnecting the wire from the negative terminal.
