charging rate of 10 amperes is not indicated,
increase idle speed slightly until reading is in-
dicated.
Slowly rotate rheostat control knob toward
"full resistance" position, while observing test
ammeter. The ammeter hand will drop toward
zero and beyond, and suddenly return to zero.
The discharge amperes noted, will be reverse
current required to open relay contacts. The
relay contacts should open at 0 to 6 amperes
discharge current, or 8.2 to 9.3 volts after
56x83
charge of 10 amperes. If adjustment is neces-
sary, use bending tool from Kit C-828. Bend
lower spring hanger down to increase closing
voltage, or bend it up to decrease.
NOTE
After each adjustment, it is essential that a com-
plete retest be made to determine new values
of closing voltage and discharge current re-
quired to open relay contacts. Regulator cover
must be in place when test is made.
