Rotor Flashing is a process of magnetizing the
Rotor.
This is necessary for the Generator to produce an
output. This is normally done at the factory and
should not be required unless the Generator has
been disassembled.
Should FLASHING become necessary, stop the
engine and identify the two inner and two outer
brush holders. The right hand brush has a wire that
connects to the three terminal rectier assembly.
The left brush is connected to the inner windings.
(See Fig.8.1).
Connect the 12 Volt Battery’s positive lead to the
left brush terminal. Next, hold the negative lead
to the right brush terminal for a minimum of ten
seconds. This will re-magnetize the Rotor.
