H
long as the circuit values allow the voltage to build
up to the operating voltage.
The
electromagnet of the voltage regulator unit has

a
winding of many turns of fine wire and is con­
nected across the charging circuit so that the sys­ tem voltage controls the amount of magnetism.
The
contacts of the voltage regulator unit are con­
nected in the generator field circuit so that the field

circuit
is completed through the contacts when they

are
closed and through a resistor when the contacts
are
opened.

When
the voltage rises to a predetermined value
there is sufficient magnetism created by the regu­

lator
winding to
pull
the
armature
down.
This
opens

the contacts and inserts resistance in the field
cir­

cuit
of the generator thus reducing the
field
current.
The
generated voltage immediately drops, which
reduces the
pull
on the
armature
to the point where
the spring closes the contacts. The output again

rises
and the cycle is repeated.

These
cycles occur at high enough frequencies to
hold the generated voltage at a constant value and

will
continue as long as the voltage of the circuit
is high enough to keep the voltage regulator unit

in
operation.
With
the addition of a current load great enough to lower the battery voltage below
the operating voltage of the unit, the contacts
will

remain
closed and the generator
will
maintain a
charging
rate as limited by its speed or the current

limiting
regulator.

Due
to the
effect
of heat on the operating
charac­

teristics of regulator windings it is necessary to
compensate for the changes in coil resistance when
the regulator is operating under varying tempera­

ture
conditions.
This
is accomplished through the
use of a nickel iron magnetic by-pass on the volt­
age regulator unit.
This
shunt by-passes
some
of
the magnetic flux when the unit is cold and allows most of the flux to act on the armature when the

unit
is hot.
Thus
when the coil is hot and not as
efficient, the magnetic shunt reduces the amount of flux needed to vibrate the armature.

The
compensation is usually more than enough to

offset
the changes in regulator coil resistance due
to heat. The excess compensation allows the regu­

lator
to operate at higher voltage under cold
operating conditions than under hot conditions.
This
is necessary as it requires a higher voltage to charge a battery with its internal resistance in­

creased
by low temperatures.

H-45.
Current-Limiting
Regulator

The
function of the current-limiting regulator is to limit the output of the generator to its maxi­

mum
safe output.

The
electromagnet of the current regulator unit
consists of
a
winding of heavy
wire
that is connected
in
series with the generator output. When the gen­

erator
output reaches a predetermined value, the
current
in the winding produces enough magnetism
to overcome the spring tension and
pull
the
arma­
ture
down.
This
opens
the contacts and inserts re­
sistance in the field circuit of the generator.
With
the field current reduced by the resistance, the
generator output falls and there is no longer enough
magnetism to hold the contacts open. As soon as
the spring closes the contacts, the output rises and the cycle is repeated. These cycles occur at high
enough frequencies to limit the output to a mini­
mum
fluctuation.

H-46.
Preliminary Inspection

a.
Wiring—Check
the wiring to see that it is prop­
erly
connected to the generator.

b.
Generator
Performance—Make
sure the genera­
tor operates correctly without the regulator in the
circuit.
Remove the armature and battery leads

from
the regulator and connect an ammeter be­
tween them. Remove the field lead from the regu­

lator
and while operating at idle speed touch the
field
lead
to the regulator base. Increase the speed slowly noting the charging rate.

CAUTION:
Do not increase the output above
the rated output of the generator.

If
the generator output
will
not build up inspect
the wiring harness for shorts and
opens
and remove the generator for an overhaul. To check the genera­
tor circuit when a suitable ammeter is unavailable,

Fig.
H-19, disconnect the armature cable at the

regulator.
Connect one lead of
a
12v
test
lamp to the regulator terminal marked "armature" and with
the engine running, ground the other lead. Should
the
test
light
fail
to
burn
there is a fault either in the generator or regulator. To localize the fault, discon­
nect both the
"Field"
and
"Armature"
cables at the generator. Connect a wire from the
"Field"
ter­
minal
to ground and use a 60 watt, 110 volt
test

lamp
to ground the
"Armature"
terminal. If the
generator is charging satisfactorily the
test
lamp

will
glow
at approximately 1500 rpm. engine speed
and
the fault
will
be definitely localized in the
regulator.

c.
Incorrect Regulator—Make sui he regulator
is the correct type for use with the generator.

d.
Battery—Check
the specific gravity and termi­

nal
voltage of the battery. If the \ ttery is not up
to specifications substitute temporarily
for
test
pur­
poses
a fully charged battery of the same type and
capacity.

e. High Resistance Connections—Inspect the
wir­
ing between the generator, regulator and battery for broken wires and high resistance connections.

Pay
special attention to the ground connections at
all
three units. Connect a reliable ammeter with 1-ampere graduations in series with the regulator

B-terminal
and the lead removed from this
terminal.
Run
the generator at a medium speed and
turn
on the lights or accessories until the ammeter shows a 10-ampere charging rate. At this charging rate
measure the voltage drop between the following
points using an accurate voltmeter graduated in
,1-volt divisions. The voltmeter should not show

a
reading above the maximum noted.

Brushes

Check
brush length. If brushes are worn to one-

half
their original length, replace them. Also check
for
cracks,
chips, damaged mounting holes, oil

saturation,
or other damage; replace brushes.

H-112.
Commutator

Check
the commutator for wear and discoloration.
If
the commutator is rough or worn the armature
should be removed and the commutator turned
down in a lathe. A discolored commutator should
be cleaned with carbon tetrachloride and inspected.

Scratches
on the commutator may be removed

with
sand paper. Use compressed air to remove

sand
particles after cleaning.

H-113.
Armature

Visually
inspect the armature for mechanical

defects
before checking for shorted or grounded
coils. Use a set of
test
probes for testing armature

circuits.
To
test
the armature for grounds, touch
one point of the
test
probes to a commutator
seg­
ment and touch the other point to the core or shaft.
Do not touch the points to the bearing surface or
to the brush surface as the arc formed
will
burn
the smooth finish. If the lamp lights, the coil con­
nected to the commutator
segment
is grounded.

H-114.
Field
Coils

Using
test
probes, check the field coils for both ground and open circuits. To
test
for ground, place
one probe on the motor frame or
pole
piece and
touch the other probe to the field coil terminals.
If
a ground is present, the lamp
will
light.

To
test
for open circuits, place the probes on the
field coil terminal and on an insulated
brush.
If
the light
does
not light, the coil is open circuited.

H-115.
Brush
Holder Inspection

Inspect
brush
holders for distortion, wear, and other
damage.
Check
that brush holders pivot freely on

their
pivot pins.
Check
brush spring tension with

a
spring scale. Hook the spring scale under the
brush
holder at the brush and
pull
on a line
paral­

lel
to the side of the
brush.
Note
scale reading just
as brush leaves commutator. Tension must be 35 oz. [9,925 kg.] minimum. Replace brush springs
if
tension is insufficient.

Novi Governor Operation /

The
Novi governor is directly belted to the F4

engine
as no clutch is provided to disconnect the
drive.

To
operate the vehicle
WITHOUT
governor con­
trol,
push the governor hand control all the way
IN
against the instrument panel.

To
operate the vehicle
WITH
governor control,

pull
the governor hand control handle out. The
hand
control has nine notched positions. Pulling the

control
out to the first notch
sets
the controlled

engine
speed at approximately 1000 rpm. and each successive notch increases the speed 200 rpm.

until
2600
rpm. is reached in the ninth notch. The

hand
control may be released by turning the han­ dle one-quarter
turn
in either direction.

When
the
engine
is being operated under governor

control
(hand control out) the controlled
engine

speed may be
exceeded
at any time by depressing
the
foot
accelerator in the conventional manner to
secure a greater carburetor throttle opening than
that determined by the governor hand control
setting.

Governor Maintenance

The
belt tension may be adjusted by raising or
lowering the governor in the slotted
holes
in the mounting bracket. Keep the pulleys and belt free
of
dirt
and oil. Belt slippage
will
affect governor
operation and a tight belt may cause
rapid
wear
of the governor shaft and bearings. Adjust it to
allow Yi' [12,7 mm.] depression midway
between
the pulleys with thumb pressure.
There
is little wear of the internal parts for they
operate in oil. The governor housings are equipped

with
both
fill
and
drain
plugs and also with level

indicating
plugs.
Check
the oil level at each vehicle
lubrication
and change the oil each time the en­

gine
oil is changed using the same grade oil used

in
the engine.

Caution:
Do not
fill
the governor housing above
the level plug. Overfilling
will
prevent governor
control
and possibly cause damage to governor in­

ternal
parts. The capacity of
these
governors is two fluid ounces [59,15 cm3]. The filler plug is
also a vent which should be cleaned thoroughly at
each oil change to be sure that the vent operates.
