c. Installation of Speedometer Cable
If cable sticks when it is inserted into housing
and will not pass through it, interior of hous-
ing is damaged or kinked. Be sure to check
housing from one end to other. Straighten
sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows.
Replace housing if it is badly kinked or broken.
Position cable and housing so that they lead
into head as straight as possible.

AMMETER
The ammeter shows only current flowing to or
from battery, as case may be, and does not in-
dicate entire generator output. The current
supplied for ignition, lights and accessories is
automatically deducted from generator output
reading. Because of this, the ammeter should
never be used as an accurate check for gen-
erator current output. Ammeter should not in-
dicate more than 10 ampere charge above 30
miles per hour, after first 30 minutes of con-
tinuous driving. If more than a 10 ampere
charge is indicated with a battery specific
gravity of 1,260 or higher, check voltage con-
trol regulator.
