Charging Systems: Alternators: Adjustment: Notes
NOTE:
Ambient temperature must be 122±5°F.
- With alternator stationary and switch "I" open (see Figure), remove regulator cover. If testing showed a regulated voltage higher than specified, lower the spring pressure on regulator by bending bracket on yoke up a little.
- Conversely, if recorded regulated voltage is lower than specified, bend bracket down a little to load spring with more pressure.
- Install cover and repeat testing of second stage. After obtaining correct setting of second stage, check first stage as directed under testing. If voltage value of first stage is 0.2 - 0.7 volt less than the voltage recorded for the second stage, the adjustment is finished. Otherwise, one of the following two cases may occur:
