Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Suppression Module
Although the output from the generator is finely controlled and relatively smooth, it is still a pulsed DC output at a varying frequency proportional to engine speed. The suppression module dampens out any ripple which may be sensed on the main output of the generator. This prevents possible interference via the power supply, affecting the radio reception or, where fitted, the telephone. The module is located on the right hand side of the engine compartment adjacent to the generator. It is secured to a mounting bracket by 3 bolts. A fuse is fitted internally to the suppression module to protect the generator output in the event of a short circuit within the suppression module.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
