START AND CHARGE SYSTEM

PRECAUTION

1 . Battery may have escaping explosive gas. In order to avoid personal injury, keep
ventilated in engine compartment before maintaining battery.To avoid electric
arc, disconnect battery negative cable first and connect the negative cable last.
2 . Battery electrolyte is very dangerous and it can damage the machine and cause
serious burns. When maintaining battery, prepare neutralizers concentration
soda water, wear safety eyepiece and protective clothing, which can avoid
personal injury.
3 . When using compressed air, wear proper goggles and mask. Flying fragment
and dirt may lead to personal injury.
4 . Don't excessively tighten the electrical connectors, which may damage the
starter.
5 . Never make two cables of the battery in short circuit. Otherwise it will enable
battery to heat rapidly or explode.The escaping gas from battery is easily be 20
ignited by the spark, so do not use fire near battery.
6 . When removing the battery, remove the negative wire before the positive one.
Then remove the battery retaining plate and remove the battery from the tray.
For installation, reserve the removal order.
7 . Never operate the engine when battery connection is not reliable. Otherwise, it
may damage electrical system (electrical components).
8 . As the generator is negative grounding, the polarity of the battery should conform
to that of the generator. Otherwise, battery will discharge through diode and
burn diode.
9 . After the generator begins operating, do not try to use spark to check whether
the generator works. Use a bulb or multimeter to perform the test. Otherwise it
will damage the generator diode.
10 . Check the generator silicon rectifier devices, multimeter and 220V check is
strictly forbidden to check generator insulation, otherwise it will make diode
broken down and damaged.
