Changes, Cautions, Corrections

POLARIZING:  Before putting generator into operation, it must be polarized after being mounted on vehicle. This applies to new generators, as well as to generators being reinstalled after repair. To polarize generator, momentarily contact B+ (from battery) to D+ terminal on regulator (with belt removed). NEVER  polarize by connecting terminal B+ (on regulator) to terminal D+ on regulator. Damage may result to regulator, cutout and generator.
