ALTERNATOR
D—ROTOR WIRING
BRUSH ASSEMBLY
Remove carbon brushes from brush assembly. Inspect
brushes for excessive wear or any other defect. Replace if
length is less than 5 mm (.2 in.).
Using an ohmmeter, verify resistance is less than 0.1
:
between the tip of each brush and the terminal. If resis-
tance is out of range, replace brushes.
SLIP RINGS
Inspect slip rings for dust, rust, or other damage. If rings are
dirty, wipe with clean, lint-free cloth. If rings are rusted or
appear damaged, remove rotor and wipe with fine emory
cloth.
ROTOR WINDING CONNECTION
Resistance Specifications*:
45-70 :
Remove brushes and measure resistance between slip
rings.
If specified resistance is not obtained at slip rings, replace
alternator.
* The alternator must be at room temperature when resis-
tance is measured.
E—MAIN WINDING TERMINAL BLOCK
Resistance Specifications*: 0.3-0.5 :
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the red
and white wires. If specified resistance is not obtained,
replace alternator.
* The alternator must be at room temperature when resis-
tance is measured.
NOTICE
Take care not to damage brushes when removing and
installing the brush holder.
Slip Rings
Red (2 wires)
Blue (2 wires)
