GENERATOR MOUNTING
WARNING
Failure to disconnect negative cable at
battery before removing or attaching
generator "BAT" terminal lead may result in
an injury. If a tool is shorted at generator
"BAT" terminal, the tool can quickly heat
enough to cause a skin burn.
NOTE
Always re-install fasteners at original
location. If necessary to replace fasteners,
use only correct part number or equivalent.
If correct part number is not available, use
only equal size and strength.
Fasteners that are NOT to be reused will be
noted in procedure.
Fasteners requiring thread locking compound
will be noted in procedure.
Figure 10. Installing Generator on Engine
Use specified torque values when shown.
CAUTION
Using or replacing fasteners in any other
manner could result in part or system
damage.
Always follow engine manufacturer's instructions
for mounting generator on engine. The following
procedure is typical and may not match all steps
necessary for a particular application.
