b. Removal.
(1) Disconnect battery at ground strap.
(2) Disconnect the armature and field
leads from the generator terminals.
(3) Remove screw, lockwasher, and plain
washer from the adjusting strap.
(4) Loosen the two screws and nuts which
attach the generator to its mounting
bracket. Move the generator toward
the engine and slip drive belt off
pulley.
(5) Remove the two screws, nuts, and
lockwashers attaching the generator
to the mounting bracket and lift the
generator off.
c. Installation.
(1) Reverse procedure in b above.
(2) If a new or rebuilt generator is in-
stalled, polarize it by momentarily
touching a jumper wire between the
battery and armature terminals of the
voltage regulator before starting en-
gine. This allows polarization of gen-
erator in respect to the battery it has
to charge.
