indications are that either the DC field has been inadver› tently "flashed" in the wrong direction, or that the generator is operating on residual magnetism only. To "flash" the field, remove the (A+) lead from the generator and momentarily close the generator cutout contacts, making certain that the external connections to the battery are correctly connected with regard to polarity~ 

(c) If the ammeter indicates zero charging current when the generator voltage. is above 13.5 or 26.8 volts for 12 or 24-volt systems respectively, check the operation of the generator cutout contacts. If the contacts are open, the unit is out of adjustment and should be reset in accord› ance with manufacturer’s cutout instructions. If the contacts are closed, check th~ charge on the battery, since the charg› ing current drops down to a low value when operating with a •fully charged battery resulting in li tt~e or no ammeter indication. 

(d) •• If the AC voltage output is below the normal 120 volts (=5%), check the DC voltage output and readjust to proper value as instructed under "CONTROL BOX INSPECTION.•"
