Electrical system
When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following
should be observed:
●
A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the electrical system. Be sure to connect the
positive battery cable to the positive battery terminal and the negative battery cable to the negative
battery terminal.
●
If booster batteries are used for starting, they must be properly connected to minimize the risk of the
electrical system being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.
●
Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running,
as this may damage the generator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are properly
cleaned and tightened.
●
If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the battery's ground lead (negative cable)
and all the connecting cables of the generator must be disconnected and the welder cables placed as near
the welding points as possible.
●
The radio must be turned off before the battery is disconnected.
●
Switch off the ignition for at least 10 minutes before disconnecting the battery.
