Alternator: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ To prevent damage to the generator, do not make jumper wire connections except as directed.
^ Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the housing and the internal diode cooling fins with key on or off. A short circuit will result and burn out the diodes.
^ The generator must be supported by hand after removing the bolts prior to disconnecting the electrical connector or damage to the harness will result.
^ Care must be taken when removing the generator to prevent damage to the air conditioning and cooling lines.
