In order not to mix up the wires on the generator and on the voltage regulator, mark them before disconnecting.
Do not disconnect the battery or voltage regulator while the engine is running.
Do not remove the alternator with the battery connected.
Be sure to disconnect the battery when carrying out welding work.
