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.

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.
