The 12 volt - 37 Amp Automotive type Alternator is
optionally available in place of the Flywheel Alternator.
No maintenance or adjustments are required other than
periodically checking for loose, broken or dirty wireterminal
connections, and for proper drive belt tension.
Bearings are pre-lubricated, no additional lubrication is
necessary. The Regulator is an all electronic transistorized
devise, therefore no mechanical contacts or relay adjustments
are necessary for voltage regulation.
The alternator is wired into the engine electrical system per
Fig. 47.
IMPORTANT
This is a Negative Ground system. Charging components
will be damaged if grounded wrong in connecting or
jumping batteries.

If light indication is other than shown, stator is defective. If
stator checks out good, perform voltage test 7.3.
Test 7.3 STATOR RUNNING VOLTAGE
With the engine stopped, unplug all connectors between
modules and stator. Start the engine and run at operating
speed. Perform the following tests with an AC voltmeter:

Cbaution: Handle battery carefully to prevent acid
urns. Avoid sparks near battery - gas given off by
battery is explosive.
PRECAUTIONS to be exercised in the use of belt driven
alternator:
1. Observe proper polarity when installing battery;
negative battery terminal must be
grounded. Reverse polarity will destroy the
rectifier diodes in alternator.
2. As a precautionary measure, disconnect
ground battery terminal when charging battery
in vehicle. Connecting charger in reverse will
destroy the rectifier diodes in the alternator.
3. DO Not, under any circumstances, short the
field terminal of the alternator to ground, as
permanent damage to the regulator may occur.
4. DO Not, remove the alternator from the vehicle
without first disconnecting the grounded battery
cable.
5. Do Not, operate engine with battery disconnected,
or disconnecthe alternator output lead
while the alternator is operating, as damping
effect of the battery will be lost. The voltage
will rise to an extreme value and permanent
damage to the regulator may occur.
6. DO Not, disconnect the voltage regulator
while the alternator is operating, because the
large voltage transient that occurs when disconnection
takes place may damage the regulator.
7. Caution: Output wires from Alternator to
Ammeter, and from Ammeter to battery terminal
on starting solenoid must be of sufficient
size for charging 37 amps. Use No. 10 gage
stranded wire, or larger.
