Testing (On Car): Notes

Observe following cautions when making tests:

1. Do not short across or ground any of the terminals on alternator or regulator.
2. Do not polarize alternator as it is not required and doing so will damage entire system.
3. Do not operate alternator on open circuit. Make sure all connections are secure and tight.
4. Before making any test connections, battery ground cable should be disconnected. Connect ground cable after all test connections are completed.
