Yes that's the quad fuse upgrade, and additional MOV protection. Two good upgrades at once.

I believe that @kloppk's kit comes with instructions. Note the nicely tagged wire in the above photo.
All the best,

If you are buying the kit from Kurt, then EVERYTHING comes with it. And its not hard. If your not buying the kit from Kurt, say something and I or someone will post up the instructions. They are also in the TM forum.
I’ve already purchased it from Kurt.. Thanks yall are great
Hey guys me again have a serious question!??! Before I found all you wonderful folks, I purchased an alternator from eBay! I took the old one out and got on eBay look for 24v 4amp alternator with the same connection as old one and purchased it!! I kno don’t beat me across the head bout it I’m doing a great job doin that myself! Long story short lost 200 and im stuck with it. “Question” is can it be used in my gen set without causing anything harm to it?

That is a 40 amp output alternator and the factory one is 35 amp thats about all i can tell you. The MOD you bought is not going to fix your issue with the Generator, just prevent a potential problem. so lets focus back on your issue.
That I understand! The mod was brought to light in the process of me trying to figure out if the alternator was causing the charging issue. Everyone is helping to try in resolve that issue as must as possible I understand that also.. As I said I brought that alternator because I thought was the charging issue.. So I asked would it hurt the unit.. I’m now aware it’s not same as factory
Can you explain this to me more it’s like Latin to me.. the steps
I just gave it some power and no all the other gauges rest but that one

Start the set. Then measure from ground to first one, and then the other contact on the FU1. (Open the control panel door. FU1 is right in front of you. It has two places to soldier wires to it. Set your DMM to DC volts. find a good ground point in the control panel. Touch it with one DMM probe and use the other to touch first one wire connection, then the other. You should get 24 VDC at both places) You should get 24 VDC. (Turn off the set) Then check J6/P6 canon plug to make sure its tight. (Open the two doors on the rear of the gen set. go down on your knees and look at the bottom of the control panel. There you will find the canon plugs there. one of them is J&/P6. Unscrew it and look at the plug. Is it ok? Not dirty, not melted, not corroded? If its good, then lay down on your back and move your head into the set and look at the other side of the cannon plug. Inspect it for the same things you just looked at. Use a good flashlight) Also unscrew it and look at both sides of the plug. Yes, its a PITA to look at the side on the bottom of the control panel. But you want to make sure there is no damage to the pin, or some kind of corrosion.
Better?
Better?
That’s million for that about to check it out now

Just want to add this diagram to make sure your alternator is hooked up correctly. especially if you switch to the new one.
Thanks for that.. Yea I thought it was the corporate but wasn’t.. I still don’t know if it will mess up the unit if I replaced the factory one with a 40am instead of a 35??

I think you will be OK, you just wont use the full capable generating charge it can produce. YMMV
Wait we talking about the alternator right??!!
