4-7-6. REGULATOR
4-7-6-1. DESCRIPTION
The voltage regulator is temperature compensated
so that the charging voltage copes with the climatic
changes and two units are housed in the regulator box: a
voltage regulator relay and a pilot lamp relay. The effect
of temperature fluctuation on their relay setting is
minimized by the use of a bi-metal spring.
4-7-6-2. REMOVAL
To remove the voltage regulator, disconnect the
multiple connector and remove the regulator.
4-7-6-3. INSTALLATION
Installation is a reversal of removal procedure.
4-7-6-4. MEASUREMENT OF REGULATOR VOLTAGE
(1) Connect a voltmeter and an ammeter with a fully
charged battery and resistor as shown in Fig. 7-47.
Install a regulator perpendicularly with connector facing
downward.
Note: Make sure that all electrical
loads (such as head lamps) on lift
truck have been switched off.

Regulator and Alternator Mounted on Lift Truck
(2) In an over temperature compensated regulator. it is
necessary to measure temperature of the regulator cover
as the regulating voltage is varied according to the
surrounding
temperature.
In
this
case.
use
a
thermometer or cylindrical thermometer with putty as
shown in Fig. 7-48.
(3) Before starting the operation, be sure to short-circuit
the line between the terminal of resistor for voltage
measurement and (-) terminal of the ammeter. Pointer of
ammeter may deflect rapidly and reversely due to
discharge current flowing from the battery. resulting in a
damaged ammeter.
