The alternator is designed to convert mechanical energy produced from the
engine, and convert the mechanical energy into an electrical energy. Electrical
energy is first internally generated in the form of an AC voltage. The AC volt-
age is then passed through a diode bridge to rectify the voltage to a DC voltage
level. The DC voltage level is used to maintain a proper level of voltage for
operating the motorhome. The alternator is designed to operate at 12 Volt DC
with a maximum output of 160 Amps.
Features:
• Enclosed brushes.
• Directional fan design.
• Lightweight compact construction.
• Simple two wire connection (B+ and B-).
• One terminal for Tachometer (AC).
• One terminal for Dash warning lamp (L).
• The output of the alternator range is 13.5 to 14.2 Volt DC. Connect
a voltmeter to the (B+) terminal of the alternator and chassis
ground. Idle the engine up to 1200 rpm.
• Check all wiring for burnt or loose connections. Repair as needed.
• Check all grounds and connections to ensure they are clean and
tight.
• Inspect the alternator for damage. A broken fan blade can damage
an alternator or make it out of balance.
• Check belt, pulley and fan for wear. Replace as needed.
• Never attempt to disconnect the battery or battery wire from the
alternator with the engine running. This can cause damage to the
alternator or the regulator.
• The pulley for the alternator should be torqued to 80 foot pounds.
Remember the alternator is not a battery charger. It is designed to maintain
the proper operating voltage level for the motorhome. A battery with a low
charge or a dead battery may cause damage to the alternator.

Any water touching the bottom of the vent tube will boil out when charging.
