1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF ENGINE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1) BATTERY
The sealed battery is standard on all cars. There are no vent plugs in the cover. The battery is
completely sealed, except for two small vent holes in the sides.
These vent holes allow the small amount of gas pro-duced in the battery to escape. The battery
has the following advantages over conventional batteries:
No water addition for the life of the battery.
Overcharge protection. If too much voltage is applied to the battery, it will not accept as
much current as a conventional battery. In a conventional battery, the excess voltage will
still try to charge the battery, leading to gassing, which causes liquid loss.
Not as liable to self-discharge as a conventional battery. This is particularly important when
a battery is left standing for long periods of time.
More power available in a lighter, smaller case. -

The battery has three major functions in the electrical system. First, the battery provides a
source of energy for cranking the engine. Second, the battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the
electrical system. Finally, the battery can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical
demand exceeds the output of the alternator.
2) RATINGS
A battery has two ratings: (1) a reserve capacity rating designated at 27°C (80°F), which
is the time a fully charged battery will provide 25 amperes of current flow at or above 10.5 volts;
(2) a cold cranking amp rating determined under testing at -18°C (0°F), which indicates
the cranking
load capacity.
▶Reserve Capacity
The reserve capacity (RC) is the maximum length of time it is possible to travel at night with the
minimum electrical load and no alternator output. Expressed in minutes, the RC rating is the
time required for a fully charged battery, at a temperature of 27 °C (80 °F) and being
discharged at
a current of 25 amperes, to reach a terminal voltage of 10.5 volts.
▶Cold Cranking Amperage
The cold cranking amperage test is expressed at a battery temperature of -18°C (0°F).
The current rating is the minimum amperage, which must be maintained by the battery for 30
seconds at the specified temperature, while meeting a minimum voltage requirement of 7.2
volts. This
rating is a measure of cold cranking capacity.
The battery is not designed to last indefinitely. However, with proper care, the battery will
provide many years of service. If the battery tests well, but fails to perform satisfactorily
in service for no apparent reason, the following factors may point to the cause of the trouble:

6) JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
Position the vehicle with the charged battery so that the jumper cables will reach from the
charged battery to the battery that requires charging.
Turn off the ignition, all the lights, and all the electrical loads in both vehicles.
Leave the hazard flasher on if jump starting where there may be other traffic and any other
lights needed for the work area.
Apply the parking brake firmly in both vehicles. 1.

4.
In order to avoid damaging the vehicle make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys, fans,
or
other parts that will move when the engine starts.
Shift an automatic transmission to PARK. 5.
In order to avoid injury, do not use cables that have loose or missing insulation.
Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the positive terminal on the booster battery. Make
sure it does not touch any other metal parts.
Clamp the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal on the discharged battery.
Never connect the other end to the negative terminal of the discharged battery. 6.
7.
Do not attach the cable directly to the neg-ative terminal of the discharged battery. Doing so
could cause sparks and possible battery explosion.
Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
Make the final connection to a solid engine ground, such as the engine lift bracket at least
450 millimeters (18 inches) from the discharged battery.
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.
Run the engine at a moderate speed for several minutes.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above sequence exactly, removing the
negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While removing each
clamp, take care that it does not touch any other metal while the other end remains
attached. 8.

7) ALTERNATOR
Alternators are equipped with internal regulators. Unlike three-wire alternators, the alternator
may be used with only two connections: battery positive and an “D+” terminal to the
charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp lights when the ignition switch is
turned to RUN, and goes out when the engine is running. If the charge idicator is on with the
engine running, a charging system defect is indicated. This indicator light will glow at full
brilliance for several kinds of defects as well as when the system voltage is too high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and limits the system voltage by
controlling rotor field current. Achieve correct average field current for proper system voltage
control by varying the on-off time. At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-
time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high electrical loads, the on-time may be 90 percent and
the off-time 10 percent.

WHEEL
1. OVERVIEW OF WHEEL & TIRE
1) Tire And wheel Balancing
There are two types of the tire and wheel balancing: static and dynamic.
Static balance is the equaldistribution of weight around the wheel. assemblies that are statically
unbalanced cause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This condition may eventually cause
uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance is the equal distributio of weight on eeach side of the centerline so that when
the assembly spins there is no tendency for it to move frim side to side . Assemblies that are
dynamically unbalanced may cause wheel shimmy.
General Balance Precautions ▶
Remove all deposits of foreign material from the inside of the wheel.
Remove stones frim the gread in order to avoid operator injury during spin balancing -
Inspect the tire for any damage. Balance the tire according to the equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2) Structure of Tubeless Tube
The tire structure is different slightly
according to the types of the tire but a
various type of the tire has the common
structure as following;
Tread 1.
A part (that contacts) road surfaces directly
is fixed on the outsude of carcass and
breaker.
It is a strong rubber coat made of high anti-
abrasion rubber. Its running performance
depends on is surface profile.
A cord belt between tread and carcass
prevents damages of inner code due to oute
r
shock and vibration.Breaker 2.

passenger’s door, rear door or tailgate while the vehicle speed is below 6 km/h (V1).
The warning light goes off when closing the door under step 1.
The warning light blinks when the vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (V1) for more than 2
seconds while the warning light is turned on.
