CORRECTION: THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CABLE ATTACHING NUTS WILL BE TORQUED AT THE PDC TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATIONS.

Description (français)

Il se peut que les dispositifs de fixation qui retiennent le câble de l’alternateur à la centrale de servitudes n’aient pas la force de serrage nécessaire. Si c’est le cas, il se peut que la connexion se desserre et qu’un arc électrique se produise, ce qui risque de provoquer un incendie dans le compartiment moteur.Correction : Les écrous de retenue de l’alternateur et du câble de la batterie sur la centrale des servitudes devront être serrés au couple conformément aux spécifications.
