BELT
@
A second belt is used to transmit the rotary motion from the
drive shaft pulley to that of the closed-circuit coolant pump
and the battery charger DC alternator (
rif.1
).
Adjust the belt tension as follows:
Loosen the adjusting screw (
rif.2
) and move the battery
charger DC alternator outwards to increase the tension
and inwards to decrease it.
The correct belt tension is such as to allow a yield of
about 10 mm (
rif.3
) under a thrust force of 8kg (17,7lbs).
Keep hands away from the V-belt or
the pulleys when the engine is running.

LTERNATOR
MAINTENANCE
The alternator used on this model generator is type
synchronous, self-excited. This type of brushless
alternator without manifold does not require any
particular maintenance.
Periodic inspections and maintenance are limited to
eliminating any traces of moisture and oxidation
which may damage it.
6.18 B
ATTERY
MAINTENANCE
Before installing a new battery, it is important that it
first be fully recharged.
Have the battery activated by personnel who have
sulphuric acid for batteries and suitable equipment
available.
At least once a month check the level of the electrolyte
and, if necessary, top up with distilled water.If the
generator is not used for a long period of time, it is
advisable to disconnect it and store it in a dry place at a
temperature above 10°C
(50°F)
, and to carry out a full
recharging cycle once a month.
When topping up the batteries with distilled water,
wear rubber gloves and protective goggles to prevent
accidental contact of sulphuric acid with the skin. In
the event of accidental contact, thoroughly wash the
affected part with soap and water and consult a doctor.
If the battery is left completely flat for long periods of
time, it may be irreparably damaged.
Before proceeding with recharging the batteries,
check the level of electrolyte and, if necessary, top
up with distilled water. This operation must be
repeated when the charging cycle has been
completed.Cover the positive terminal with Vaseline
to protect it against corrosion and the formation of
oxide.
