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.•"  -92-
