LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
When working on or checking the alternator, comply
with the following precautions to prevent alternator
damage.
•
DO NOT, under any circumstances, short the
FIELD terminal of the alternator to ground.
•
DO NOT disconnect the alternator output lead
or battery cables while the alternator is
operating.
•
DO NOT remove the alternator from the
tractor without first disconnecting the negative
(-) battery cable. If the battery is to be
removed, disconnect the negative cable first.
•
If a battery is being installed, MAKE
CERTAIN that the positive (+) cable is
connected first and that the negative terminal
is connected to ground. Reverse polarity will
destroy the rectifier diodes in the alternator.
If the charge indicator warning light indicates that
the alternator is not charging the battery, check the
fan belt and the wiring connections. If these are
satisfactory and the warning light continues to
indicate no charge, consult your RANSOMES
Tractor Dealer.
