INTRODUCTION
PROTECTING THE ELECTRONIC/ ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS DURING CHARGING OR WELD-
ING
To avoid damage to the electronic/electrical systems, always observe the following:
1. Never make or break any of the charging circuit connections, including the battery connections, when the engine
is running.
2. Never short any of the charging components to ground.
3. Always disconnect the ground cable from the battery before arc welding on the unit or on any header attached to
the unit.
•
Position the welder ground clamp as close to the welding area as possible.
•
If welding in close proximity to a computer module, then the module should be removed from the unit.
•
Never allow welding cables to lay on, near or across any electrical wiring or electronic component while welding
is in progress.
4. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery when charging the battery in the unit with a battery charger.
IMPORTANT: If welding must be performed on the unit, either the unit or the header (if it is attached), the battery
ground cable must be disconnected from the unit battery. The electronic monitoring system and charging system will
be damaged if this is not done.
Remove the battery ground cable. Reconnect the cable when welding is completed.
