Caution
a) Be sure the battery connections are not
reversed, because this will damage the rec-
tifier.
b) Do not use high-voltage testers such as a
megger, because they will damage the rec-
tifier.
c) Remember that battery voltage is always
applied to the alternator B terminal.
d) Do not ground the L terminal while the en-
gine is running.
e) Do not start the engine while the connec-
tor is disconnected from the L and S ter-
minals.
