Chery A series. Manual — part 112

part of the battery away from water.

—

Connect the battery to the charger, and adjust
the charging current accordingly.

As heat discharged by the exhaust manifold could damage the generator, you must
ensure that the heat discharging guard and insulation device are firmly installed on the
generator.

Installation of generator bracket:

—

Disconnect the negative grid of the battery.

—

Mount the double-ended stud on top of

cylinder cover.

—

Install the bracket of generator.

—

Tighten flange nut of the double-ended stud
and bolt on the cylinder body, the tightening
torque should be 40±4Nm.

The installing steps are reverse to those for
removal.

Installation of generator:

—

Disconnect the negative grid of the battery.

—

Align one end of the generator with the

installation hole of bracket, and push it in by
force until the installation hole and the shaft
hole of the generator are aligned.

—

Use a long bolt and an Allen screw

respectively to install the generator on its
bracket, with a tightening torque of
25±2N.m.

—

Connect the positive power source wire with
the generator and the cable lug of the battery
warning lamp to the wiring terminal.

Note: The wiring harness must not be

grounding so as to avoid from
catching fire.

The installing steps are reverse to those for
removal.

T-6

Installation of driving belt and tensioner
assembly:

—

Disconnect the negative grid of the battery.

—

Use 3 M8 Allen screws to install the

tensioner assembly on the bracket of the
generator, with a tightening torque of
25±2N.m.

—

Install the multi-wedged belting; Pull out the
pin on the tensioner assembly so as to
tension the driving belts in the tensioner
pulley. Inspect the driving belts to see
whether they are all inserted properly in the
driving wedge of the pulley wheel.

The installing steps are reverse to those for
removal.

Adjusting method of multi-wedge belting
and tensioner assembly alignment:

—Disconnect the negative grid of the battery.

—Use spanner to rotate the engine crankshaft

belt pulley to drive the multi-wedged belting
for at least one revolution.

—Observe the alignment status of the multi

-wedge belting and tensioner assembly, if
the multi-wedge belting center exceeds the
tensioner assembly center, then remove the
tensioner assembly and add spacers to adjust
the centering.

The installing steps are reverse to those for

removal.

Overhaul of generator:

—Inspect the accuracy of deflexion and

tension value of the driving belt, if it does
not comply with the requirement, then the
driving belts should be replaced.

—Shut down all the electro-devices, turn the

ignition switch to start the engine, inspect
the rotation process of the engine to see
whether the rotation of generator is smooth
without any noise.

T-7

—Use voltmeter to measure the voltage value

of the generator output terminal.

Standard value: Engine idling; Temperature: 20
℃

, Output voltage: 13-15V.

—Switch on the following devices and observe

the increase of readings of the voltmeter:

• Headlamp

• Air conditioning

• Back window defroster

INSPECTION OF GENERATOR

Warning lamp of generator

1. Confirm that the battery has been fully charged;

● If it necessary, the battery should be charged.

2. Confirm the accuracy of deflexion and tension values of the wedge type belts.

● If it does not comply with the requirement, then replace it with a new type of wedge type

belt.

3. Turn on the ignition switch, and inspect the generator warning lamp to see whether it is

indicating.

● If it does not comply with the specified requirement, then inspect the generator warning

lamp, or check whether the generator connectors are connected firmly.

4. Confirm whether the generator warning lamp is off after the engine is turned off.

● If it does not comply with the requirement, then inspect the instrument connector to see

whether they are connected properly; if the instrument is malfunction free, then you need
to further inspect the generator itself to see whether there is any short circuit.

REMOVAL/INSTALLATION OF STARTER

Warning:

When connecting wires of the battery are in on-state, and at this time if you contact the
generator terminal to the car body, sparks will happen. This may cause body injury, fire
and the sparks may damage the electrical components. Therefore before carrying the
following operation, you must disconnect the negative grid of the battery first.

—

Disconnect the negative grid of the

battery.

—

Apply lubricating grease of about 5

grams evenly on the inserting shaft of the
starter.

—

Insert the starter into housing of the

clutch.

—

Screw three bolts and tighten them，(one
of the bolts is M10×1×35), with the
tightening torque of 40±4Nm.

—

Connect the wiring harness to the

positive grid of the starter, and the starter
wiring harness connector. Pay attention
not to ground the wiring harness so as to
prevent short circuit and catching fire.

The installing steps are reverse to those
for removal.

OVERHAUL OF STARTER

No load test:

—

Verify that the battery is fully charged.

—

Close the circuit of the starter, battery, voltmeter and ammeter according to the following
diagram.

—

Initiate the starter and check whether it operates smoothly.

—

When the starter is rotating, measure its voltage and current values. If these values do not
meet the requirements, then replace the starter.
