Page 7:59 Alternator, jump starting

Go To Top of Page.

Note: This car is equipped with an alternator When changing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following should be observed. 1 A battery connection to the wrong terminal    will damage the diodes. Before connec-    tion are made, check the polarity of the    battery with a voltmeter. 2 If booster batteries are used for starting,    they must be properly connected to prevent    the diodes from being damaged.    For correct connection, see next section,    titled jump starting. 3 If a fast charger is used for charging the    battery, the battery leads should be    disconnected. 4 Never disconnect the battery circuit (for    example, to change the battery) while the    engine is running, as this will immediately    ruin the alternator.    Always make sure that all the battery    connections are 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 placed    as near the welding point as possible.		WARNING! To prevent possible explosion, never expose battery to open flame or electric spark. Do not smoke near battery. Bat- teries generate hydrogen gas which is flammables and explosive. Battery fluid contains sulfric acid. Do not allow battery to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical attention if eyes are affected.
	Jump Starting
	CAUTION Improper hook-up of jumper cables could result in damage to equipment and/or battery. Check that cars are not touching. (To prevent premature completion of negative circuit). Using jumper cables, first connect booster battery positive terminal (+) to car battery positive terminal (+). Then connect booster battery negative terminal (-) to a stationary solid metal part on the engine at a point away from the battery. Do not connect to any part of fuel system or any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifold.	After engine has started remove negative terminal (-) jumper cable first then positive terminal (+) jumper cable.

Replacing bulbs The replacement of bulbs in the varios lighting units is shown on the following pages. Make sure when installing bulbs, that the guide pin on the socket fits into its corre- sponding recess. When installing bulbs, do not touch the glass with your fingers. The reason for this is that grease, oil or any other impurities can be carbonized onto the bulb and damage the reflector. Use bulbs of correct type and voltage. Failure to do so could activate the bulb failure warn- ing light.
