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 eletrical connector is a new style connector that has a press-to-release tab. Pulling on the tab could result in damage to the connector or harness.
