BELT TENSION
Generator is driven by a serpentine drive belt. Belt tension is maintained by an automatic belt tensioner. No adjustment is necessary. For belt routing (Scheme 4)
Scheme 4
BRUSHES
- Brushes should slide smoothly in holders. Replace brushes if damaged or worn. See «GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-167885-S08609192832004102500000) .
- If exposed brush length is less than minimum, replace brushes and brush holder assembly. Install new brush springs when replacing brushes.
DIODES
Note. Information not available from manufacturer.
ROTOR
- Check rotor for open field windings by using an ohmmeter across slip rings. Rotor resistance should be within specification. See «GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-167885-S08609192832004102500000) . If resistance reading is not as specified, replace rotor.
- Check rotor for grounded field windings. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between slip ring and rotor. Continuity should not be present. If continuity is present, replace rotor.
- Check slip rings for wear or pitting. If slip rings are rough, scored or less than minimum diameter, replace rotor.
