The slide tap on adjustable resistor
R21,
located in
the generator air outlet,
should
be set .to give
about 2 amperes charging rate. For applications
requiring frequent starts, check battery charge
condition (specific gravity) periodically and if
necessary, increase charging rate slightly (slide
tap nearer ungrounded lead) until
it
keeps battery
charged. Having engine stopped when read-
justing avoids accidental shorts. Avoid
overcharging.

If
charge winding
AC
output
is below
19
volts on
12
volt battery charge models, test the charging
circuit
for
opens
or
grounds
in the leads and
charging winding.
If
leads are defective, replace
them.
If
winding is defective, replace generator
stator.

I f a separate automatic demand control is used

maximum.
4.5 . amperes. This normally keeps
battery charged even
if
starts
occur
as often
as
15
minutes apart. .

must be changed,
reverse the rectifier connection in the control box.
