ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

VOLTAGE REGULATOR--Continued

Eleventh.. With the generator running in the proper direction at a speed of 2500 R.P.M. the voltage across (B-) and (B+) should be from 37.5 to 38.0 volts. If it is not, turn the adjusting nut (R2) until this is obtained. Make a final check by increasing the generator speed from 0 to 2500 R.P.M.

LOAD LIMITOR

Twelfth . . Set the contact gap (L2) at .025 to .030 by holding the contact open and turning the screw (L3). (Set when contacts are open).

Thirteenth...Set the gap (L5) between the armature and the core at .015" to .020" by filing the armature stop pin (L4), if necessary. (Set when contacts are open).

Fourteenth...Set the hinge gap (L8) at approximately .005" to .010" by loosening the screw (L6) and moving the bracket. (Set when contacts are open).

Fifteenth...With the battery connected, run the generator at 2000 R.P.M. using a lamp or a resistance load of 20 amperes on the generator, the ammeter in the line from the generator to the terminal (B-) should read between 20 and 21 amperes. If it is lower than 20 amperes or higher than 21 amperes, bend the bracket end (L7) to increase or decrease the spring pressure.

Sixteenth...Recheck and readjust the voltage regulator element, if the adjustment has changed.
