ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM TEST
1.Place the vehicle in a ventilated, shaded area
free from excessive draught, with the doors and
windows open.
2.Check that the surface of the condenser is not
restricted with dirt, leaves, flies, etc. Do not
neglect to check the surface between the
condenser and the radiator. Clean as necessary.
3.Switch on the ignition and the air conditioner air
flow control. Check that the blower is operating
efficiently at low, medium and high speeds.
Switch off the blower and the ignition.
4.Check that the evaporator condensate drain
tubes are open and clear.
5.Check the tension of the compressor driving belt,
and adjust if necessary.
6.Inspect all connections for the presence of
refrigerant oil. If oil is evident, check for leaks,
and repair as necessary.
NOTE: The compressor oil is soluble in
Refrigerant R134a and is deposited when
the refrigerant evaporates from a leak.
7.Start the engine.
8.Set the temperature controls to cold and switch
the air conditioner blower control on and off
several times, checking that the magnetic clutch
on the compressor engages and releases each
time.9.With the temperature control at maximum
cooling and the blower control at high speed,
warm up the engine and fast idle at 1000
rev/min. Check the sight glass for bubbles or
foam. The sight glass should be generally clear
after five minutes running, occasional bubbles
being acceptable. Continuous bubbles may
appear in a serviceable system on a cool day, or
if there is insufficient air flow over the condenser
at a high ambient temperature.
10.Repeat at 1800 rev/min.
11.Gradually increase the engine speed to the high
range, and check the sight glass at intervals.
12.Check for frosting on the service valves.
13.Check the high pressure hoses and connections
by hand for varying temperature. Low
temperature indicates a restriction or blockage at
that point.
14.Switch off the air conditioning blower and stop
the engine.
15.If the air conditioning equipment is still not
satisfactory, carry out a pressure test as
previously described in this section.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
The electrical system is Negative ground, and it is
most important to ensure correct polarity of the
electrical connections at all times. Any incorrect
connections made when reconnecting cables may
cause irreparable damage to the semi-conductor
devices used in the generator and regulator. Incorrect
polarity would also seriously damage any
transistorized equipment such as radio and
tachometer etc.
WARNING: During battery removal or
before carrying out any repairs or
maintenance to electrical components
always disconnect the battery negative lead first.
If the positive lead is disconnected with the
negative lead in place, accidental contact of the
wrench to any grounded metal part could cause a
severe spark, possibly resulting in personal
injury. Upon installation of the battery the positive
lead should be connected first.
GENERATOR
The generator is a three phase, field sensed unit. The
rotor and stator windings produce three phase
alternating current, AC, which is rectified to direct
current, DC. The electronic voltage regulator unit
controls the generator output voltage by high
frequency switching of the rotor field circuit. Use only
the correct Vehicle replacement fan belt. Occasionally
check that the engine and generator pulleys are
accurately aligned.
It is essential that good electrical connections are
maintained at all times. Of particular importance are
those in the charging circuit (including those at the
battery) which should be occasionally inspected to
see that they are clean and tight. In this way any
significant increase in circuit resistance can be
prevented.Do not disconnect battery cables while the engine is
running or damage to the semi-conductor devices
may occur. It is also inadvisable to break or make any
connections in the generator charging and control
circuits while the engine is running.
The electronic voltage regulator employs micro-circuit
techniques resulting in improved performance under
difficult service conditions. The whole assembly is
encapsulated in silicone rubber and housed in an
aluminium heat sink, ensuring complete protection
against the adverse effects of temperature, dust, and
moisture etc.
The regulating voltage is set during manufacture to
give the required regulating voltage range of 14.2±
0.2 volts, and no adjustment is necessary. The only
maintenance needed is the occasional check on
terminal connections and wiping with a clean dry
cloth.
The generator system provides for direct connection
of a charge (ignition) indicator warning light, and
eliminates the need for a field switching relay or
warning light control unit. As the warning lamp is
connected in the charging circuit, lamp failure will
cause loss of charge. Lamp should be checked
regularly and spare carried.
When using rapid charge equipment to re-charge the
battery, the battery must be disconnected from the
vehicle.
NOTE: For description and operation of
electrical circuits see separate publication:
Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.

8.Rotate carbon pile load control to achieve
greatest output (amps) without allowing voltage
to fall below 12.0 V. A reading in amps, of
generator output, minus 10% to allow for EFI
and Ignition loss, should be obtained.
9.Run engine at 3000 rev/min, switch selector to
regulator test, read voltmeter. A reading of 13.6
to 14.4 V should be obtained.
10.Switch selector to diode/stator test, switch on
headlamps to load generator. Raise engine
speed to 3000 rev/min, read voltmeter, needle
must be within 'OK' range.TESTING IN POSITION
Charging circuit resistance test.
1.Connect a low range voltmeter between
generator terminal marked B+ and positive
terminal of battery.2.Switch on headlamps, start engine. Run engine
at approximately 3000 rev/min. Note voltmeter
reading.
3.Transfer voltmeter connections to frame of
generator and negative terminal of battery, and
again note voltmeter reading.
4.If reading exceeds 0.5 volt on positive side or
0.25 volt on negative side, there is a high
resistance in charging circuit which must be
traced and remedied.
