(c) condition of cable leads,

(d) attachment of alternator cable harness,

(e) alternator attachment to MGB.

NOTE

Check the alternator attachment by mounting a dial

gauge on the MGB with the feeler bearing on the end
of the alternator.

Check that the dial gauge reading does not change

(i.e. no play) when upward and downward loads "F"
of 20 daN (44.962 lbf) are applied manually on the
alternator.

If play is observed, remove the alternator as per

24-21-00-401 to check internal bearings (refer to
manufacturer’s literature).

(5) On alternator covers (POST MOD 0723080), check:

(a) attachments (screws, washers, nuts) for condition,

(1) Unlock and open panels.
(2) Check power connectors (attachment, condition of wiring).

(3) Examine rear face of panels. Close panels.

(4) On front face, check condition and attachment of the following:

(a) switches and selectors,

(b) voltmeters and ammeters,

(c) indicator lights (carry out functional test with power on),
(d) snap wire on switches on "EMERGENCY CUTOFF" bar.

(5) Close and lock panels.

H. Electrical master boxes

(1) Electrical master boxes 1 ALPHA and 11 ALPHA

(a) Open access panel to electrical master box.

(b) Check box attachment to structure.

(c) Remove cover from master box.
