ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERIES. Two 12 volt batteries are connected in series to provide 24 volts DC to provide starting power and to
operate lights, gauges, and other electrical components.
ALTERNATOR. The 24 volt, 45 amp alternator is an integral part of the charging circuit and provides current to charge
the batteries when the engine is running. It is operated by the engine drive belt.
STARTER MOTOR. The starter motor is part of the starting circuit and turns the engine flywheel fast enough to start the
engine. It operates only when the ignition switch is turned to the right to the start position.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS. Located inside the instrument panel on the left side. Circuit breakers open the battery circuit, if
there Is a short, grounded wire, or excessive current draw by a defective component in the corresponding circuit. When
the circuit is open, current will not flow through the electrical system. The circuit breakers will automatically reset once
they cool. If a breaker continually trips, the electrical system requires repair.
