POWER SUPPLY ROUTING
This diagram is helpful in identifying specific prob-
lems
in the power supply portion of the electrical
circuits. For example, let's say
a vehicle has an in-
operative
rear window defogger A quick check
proves that meter and
gauges in the vehicle are
operative The power supply diagram shows that
there cannot be
a problem between the battery,
ignition relay, ignition switch or fuse since the
power supply circuit for the
rear window defogger
Example
BRANCH M/T model
AlT model

ABBREVIATIONS
is common with the meter and gauges. Therefore,
the cause of this specific problem must
lie past the
fuse, such
as in the wiring, rear window defogger,
or ground.
WIRING DIAGRAM

nectors, electrical

tor, color coding of wires, and connector codes

CHECKING SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1 Read hydrometer and thermal gauge indica-
tions
as eye level.
Read top level with scale.
CAUTION:
a. If it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster battery and jumper cables, use a
12-volt booster battery
b. After connecting battery cables, ensure that they are tightly clamped to battery terminals for good
contact
c. Never add distilled water through the hole used to check specific gravity.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20°C (68°F)
Example
e When electrolyte temperature is 35°C (95°F)
and specific gravity of electolyte is 1230,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
Check
- Hydrometer 1 240
When electrolyte temperature
is 0°C (32°F)
and specific gravity of electrolyte
is 1.210,
converted specific gravity
at 20°C (68°F) is
1.196.

BATTERY CAPACITY TEST
1 With battery connected to tester as shown,
turn load knob until
a draw of 3 times the
battery rating
is shown (Example Battery
rating
60AH Turn load to 180A draw )
Hold this draw for 15 seconds, then look at
voltage If voltage remains at 96 volts or
above,
THE BATTERY IS GOOD If voltage
drops below
96 volts, then proceed to next
test

THREE-MINUTE CHARGE TEST
1 Connect battery charger

Turn charger to a fast rate not over 40A
After three minutes, check voltmeter reading
If it is over 16 5 volts battery should be re-
placed

BATTERY
CHARGING RATE AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY
OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
The relationship between the charged condition
of the battery and the specific gravity of battery
electrolyte differs,
as shown in figures below,
when the battery
is discharging and when it IS
being charged
Charging battery at a curreni 1/10 battery capacity
100 80 60 40 20 0
Charged rare (I" %J SEL8088
Chargtng battery at a curreni 116 of battery capacity
100 80 60 40 20 0
Charged rate (In %) SEL809B
As can be seen from these figures, the battery has
the following features
The specific gravity of battery electrolyte
increases very slowly while the battery is being
charged
The smaller the charging current, the slower
the specific gravity of the electrolyte increases
ling
WARNING:
a. Keep battery away from open flame while
it is being charged
b When connecting charger, connect leads
first, then
turn on charger. Do not turn on
charger first, as this may cause a spark.
c. Do not allow electrolyte temperature to go
over45"C (113°F).
CHARGING CURRENT AND TIME
REQUIRED
FOR CHARGING
Charge the battery at 1/10 the current of battery
capacity
Charging current I Time required
1/10 of battery capacity I Approx 8 - 10 hours
116 of battery capacity
(But not more than 10-ampere) Approx 4 - 5 hours ~~
~
CAUTION:
Do
not use more than 10-ampere current flow to
charge the battery quickly, as
this will shorten the
battery's service life.

- Aiming Adjustment
When performing headlamp aiming adjustment, use
ail aiming machine, aiming wall screen or headlamp
tester For operating instructions of any airner, it
should be in good repair, calibrated and used ac-
cording to respective operation manuals supplied
with the unit
If any aimer is not available, aiming adjustment can
be done
as follows
For details, refer to the regulations in your own
country.
CAUTION:
a Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
b. Place vehicle and tester on
one and same flat
surface.
c See that there is no load in vehicle (coolant, en-
gine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel
tank) other than
the driver (or equivalent
weight placed in driver's position).
