Charging System
An alternator with an integrated regulator is
used to supply power to the vehicle electri-
cal system. The charging system voltage
should be checked periodically to prevent
overcharging or undercharging the batteries
and to detect any voltage drop in the wiring.

Battery Box
The battery cover may also be a base for
the cab steps. To remove the cover, unhook
the two rubber latches and lift the cover up
and out.
When installing the battery cover, make
sure it is resting properly on the box
before fastening the latches. Faulty in-
stallation may cause the cover to shift
when the steps are used, which may lead
to a fall, causing serious personal injury
or death.
When inspecting or cleaning batteries,
never smoke or expose batteries (or the
areas around them) to spark or flames.
The battery area may contain an explo-
sive gas mixture that can ignite, causing
an explosion, leading to serious personal
injury or death.
