2 Safety Precautions
2.1 Special Tool Usage
The use of incorrect or unsuitable tools and test equipment can lead to personal injury and may
damage the alternator or its component parts. Only use tools that are specified in this instruction or
meet the specification of the recommended tools.
2.2 Fire Risk
To provide radio interference suppression, the alternator is equipped with capacitors with a long
storage time. Cleaning of alternator components may cause and electrical discharge when they are
immersed in cleaning fluid. This discharge may cause combustible liquids to ignite.
2.3 Skin Protection
To avoid skin irritation when handling oils and greases, apply protective gloves or creams before
starting work and wash off hands with soap and water when servicing has been completed.
2.4 Compressed Air
Only use compressed air regulated to a maximum of 4 Bar (60 PSI), and a clean cloth for cleaning
of the armature, excitation windings and alternator plates.
2.5 Explosion Risk
Avoid exposure to fire, open flame and sparks. Thoroughly dry all cleaned parts as gases could form
from the cleaning process and may cause an explosion.
