4 Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to change the batt\
ery) while the engine is running,
as this will immediately ruin the alternator. Always make sure that all \
the battery connections are
cleaned and properly tightened.

5 If any electrical welding work is performed on the vehicle, the ground\
lead and all the connecting
cables of the alternator must be disconnected and the welder wires place\
d as near the welding point as
possible.



Jump starting
CAUTION: Improper hook-up of jumper cables or the use of other than 12 v\
olt batteries could result
in damage to equipment and/or battery.

Check that cars are not touching to prevent premature completion of nega\

Note the position of the battery terminals. When using jumper cables, fi\
rst connect booster battery
positive (+) terminal to car battery positive (+) terminal. Then con\
nect booster battery negative (-)
terminal to a stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away \
from the battery. Do not connect
booster cable to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touc\
hing hot manifolds.
