Adjustable Resistor
Together with the regulator cut-out, the adjustable re-
sistor has the task to keep the desired voitage constant.
Current passes through the adjustable resistor at that
instant when the
regulating armature is in suspension
:late because in this position the adjustable resistor
and the excitation winding are connected in series.
In the lower position, the adjustable resistor is bridged
by the regulating armature and thus is of no impor-
tance to voltage regulation.
In the upper position. the armature has also no
func-
lion to fulfil because the excitation winding is short-
circulted and th~s the voltage breaks down.

If, inadvertently, the wrong cables are connected
to
the two terminals of the battery (red cable to the
negative pole and brown cable to the positive pole)
and then the engine started, the polarity of the dy-
namo is surely changed. In most cases, the contacts of
the regulator cut-out are also carbonised.

In any case, the regulator must be checked in a \vcrk-
shop. In order to restore the dynamo to the origi~xl
polarity. the following has to be done:
Put the negative cable of the battery to earth and usc
the positive cable of the battery to touch thc

pressing the reverse-current cut-out for about

(the battery is connected to the electrical system oi
the motor-cycle). If with the wrongly connected bat-
lery the motor-cycle was operated for some time. dis-
charge it. with 0.6

and subsequently charge it with
the same current intensity (Section 5.3.1. should be
observed in this connection!).
