Electrical equipment

Battery

The battery is maintenance free.

Generator

The alternator requires no maintenance other than periodic checking of the drive V-belt tension.

If the battery is charged in a car from an additional power source, the wires of the electrical equipment of the car should be disconnected from its terminals. Thus, the generator rectifier, which is very sensitive to high voltage or erroneous connection of the current source, is protected from damage.

Attention! Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running. It is also impossible to use a high power rectifier to start the engine.

Circuit breakers

The fuse box is located on the left side of the engine compartment (in the back). Closes its casing made of transparent artificial material, on which the electrical circuits protected by these fuses are indicated. The fuses protecting the accessory devices are located on the corresponding power wires.

If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced. If after a short time the new fuse also blows, this indicates damage to this circuit. The cause of the damage should be found and repaired as soon as possible. It is recommended to carry a spare set of fuses in the car.
