BUILT-IN INDICATOR (IF EQUIPPED)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated indicator in
the top of the battery. This indicator is to be used with the follow-
ing diagnostic procedure. When checking the indicator, make
sure that the battery has a clean top. A light may be needed in
some poorly-lit areas.
Three types of indication which is available under normal opera-
tion are as follows.
Green Dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
Dark
Battery must be charged before testing.
If there is a cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in Diagnosis section. Charging and electrical sys-
tems should also be checked at this time.
Clear or Light Yellow
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of hydrome-
ter. Its possible cause is excessive or prolonged charging, a
broken case, excessive tipping or normal battery deteriora-
tion.
When the battery is found in such condition, it is possible
that high charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems need
to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking and its cause
lies in the battery, it should be replaced.
CARE OF BATTERY
1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodi-
cal attentions.
Keep the battery carrier clean.
Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all
cells. WARNING:
Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark
because of battery generate gas which is flammable
and explosive.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics,
or painted surfaces as fluid is a corrosive acid. Flush
any contacted area with water immediately and thor-
oughly.
Batteries should always be kept out of reach of chil-
dren.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6H-4 CHARGING SYSTEM
When keeping battery on vehicle over a long period of time, follow
instructions given below.
Weekly, start the engine and run it until it reaches normal
operating temperature with engine speed of 2,000 to 3,000
rpm. Make sure all electric switches are off before storing the
vehicle.
Recharge the battery twice a month to prevent it from dis-
charging excessively. This is especially important when
ambient temperature is low.
The battery discharges even when it is not used, while vehi-
cles are being stored. Battery electrolyte can freeze and bat-
tery case can crack at cold ambient condition if battery is not
properly charged.
2) Keep the battery cable connections clean.
The cable connections, particularly at the positive (+) termi-
nal post, tend to become corroded. The product of corrosion,
or rust, on the mating faces of conductors resists the flow of
current.
Clean the terminals and fittings periodically to ensure good
metal-to-metal contact, and grease the connections after
each cleaning to protect them against rusting.
3) Be always in the know as to the state of charge of the bat-
tery. The simplest way to tell the state of charge is to carry
out a hydrometer test. The hydrometer is an instrument for
measuring the specific gravity (S.G.) of the battery electro-
lyte. The S.G. of the electrolyte is indicative of the state of
charge. Refer to “HYDROMETER TEST” in this section.
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.
