Dear Half-Mast,
We've been having some seRIous shorting problems w±th the
650-
amp alte²ator on our Paladin.
The two steel³bra±ded pressure hoses that provide oil to and from
the alte²ator are routed close to the alte²ator´s posit±ve and
negat±ve terminalsµ DuRIng operat±on¶ the hoses sh±F around·
Whenever a hose touches the pos±tive terminal, it creates a short
that bu²s up the hose¸
What can we do to stop th±s?
SFCG.L.
