GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9
Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts
to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (com-
puter, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a
large amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest possible time.
Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.)
PRECAUTION FOR INSTALLING MOBILE COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB (Citizens-Band)-radio or cellular-tele-
phone, be sure to observe the following precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control system.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s electronic control unit.
Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in) away from electronic control unit and its wire har-
nesses.
Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
6H-4 CHARGING SYSTEM
GENERATOR
The generator is a small and high performance type with an IC regulator incorporated.
The internal components are connected electrically as shown below figure.
The generator features are as follows:
Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator.
All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
This unit along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear housing.
The IC regulator uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the generator, and the volt-
age setting cannot be adjusted.
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two
brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal con-
ditions will provide long period of attention-free service.
The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
A condenser mounted in the rear housing suppresses radio noise.
