5. During current output tests please make sure that the
ammeter is securely connceted into the charge circuit.
6. Some battery powered timing lights can produce high transient voltages when connected or disconnected. Onl
y
disconnect or connect timing lights when the engine is
switched off.
7. Make sure the warning lamp circuit is functioning normall
y
before commencing tests.
8. Battery isolation switches must only be operated when the engine is stopped.
9. To protect the charging system when using 240 volt chargers it is recommeneded that the battery is
disconnected whilst charging.
10. Due to the very low resistance value of the stator winding it may not be possible to obtain accurate readings without
special equipment.
11. 12 volts must never be connected to the "L" terminal of the regulator as this will damage the lamp driver circuit.
12. No loads apart from the warning lamp can be connected to the "L" termainal. The "W " terminal is provided for this
purpose.

Disassembly
1. Mark the relative positions of the end housings in relation to the stator assembly to aid reassembly. Use a permanent
marking pen do not use centre punched as this can cause
misalignmnet of the housings.
2. Remove the EP regulator from the slipring end housing b
y
removing the two screws. Tilt the regulator slightly from the
plug connection until the regulator clears the housing, then
lift clear.
3. Remove the four through bolts.
4. Carefully remove the stator assembly along with the slipring end housing taking care not to put strain on the stator wires.
5. To disconnect the stator from the rectifier assembly, grasp the stator wires close to the wire loop with a pair of long
nosed pliers, heat the joint with a soldering iron, when the
point becomes plastic apply a slight twisting motion to the
wires, then pull upwards to release the wires. Remove the
stator.
This procedure opens the wire loop to release the stato
r
connections easily.
6. To remove the rectifier remove the three retaining scre
w
and the B+ terminal nut and washers.

Note: the B+ bolt and the positive heatsink retaining screw are
fitted with mica insulating washers.
These must be discarded and replaced with new washers and
heatsink compound.

6D3-14 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
7. To remove the pulley, mount an 8mm Allen key in the vice
with the short end upwards, place a 24mm ring spanner on
the puley nut, position the internal hexagon of the roto
r
shaft onto the Allen ken, loosen the nut and remove the
pulley.

Note: the pulley has an integral boss which locks up against
the bearing,
therefore no thrust collar is provided.
8. Removing the rotor assembly. Remove the four retaining screws from the drive end housing, withdraw the roto
r
complete with the bearing.

Note: the rotor must not be pressed from the drive end housing
using a press as the bearing retaining plate and drive end
housing will be damaged or distorted. Parts removed in this
way must be replaced if the integrity of the generator is to be
maintained.
9. Remove the drive end bearing from the rotor shaft using a
chuck type puler, take care not to distort the fan assembl
y
during this process.
10. Remove the slipring end bearing using the same meghod as in 9.

Clean
Thoroughly clean all components except the rotor and stator
with an approved cleaning agent. Ensure that all traced of oil
and dirt are removed. If an abrasive cleaner is used to remove
scale and paint from the housings take care not to abrade the
bearing and mounting spigot surfaces. The rotor and stator
must be cleaned with compressed air only, the use of solvents
could cause damage to the insulating materials.

Inspection
1. Rectifier assembly
The following test equipment is required.
The recitifier assembly is not repairable and must be replaced
if a faulty diode is detected during inspection.

(a)
Adiode tester where the DC output at the test probes does
not exceed 14 volts or in the case of AC testers 12 volts
RMS. This is to ensue that when inspection rectifiers fitted
with zener power diodes the forward and reverse checks
are completer and are not masked by the diode turning on
due to the zener breakdown voltage.
(b) A zenere diode tester with a DC output in excess of 30 volts, the tester should also incorporate internal current
limiting set to 5 Ma. to prevent high currents during
inspection.
(c) Diodes can be destroyed during service due to high temperature and overload, open circuits are usually a result
of excessive voltage.

Reassembly
Generator
(a) Press new bearing onto slipring end of the rotor taking care to aplly the force to the bearing inner race only, otherwise
the bearing will be noisy and it's life will be shortened.
(b) Fit a new bearing to the drive end housing, fit the bearing plate, and four retaining screws, press the rotor into the
bearing, using a support tool to take the thrust against the
bearing inner.
The support is fitted from the pulley side of the bearing. In this way the thrust is not taken by the drive end housing.
(c) To fit pulley, mount an 8mm Allen key in the vice with the short end upwards, place a 24mm ring spanner on the shaft
nut, position the internal hexagon of the rotor shaft onto the
Allen key, tighten the nut to the required torque(See torque
chart)
(d) Inspect the bearing support ring for signs of damage, if in doubt replace the ring by pressing it into the housing b
y
hand, do not use excessive force.
(e) To refit the rectifier, fit new mica washers to the positive heatsink B+ bolt and retaining screw each washer must
have heatsink compound applied to both surfaces before
fitting.
Fit the three retaining screws to the rectifier then install into slipring end housing. Tighten the B+ bolt to the reuired
torque.
(f) To refit the stator, make sure the spigot surface are clean and free from damage, fit the stator into the slipring end
housing noting the correct lead connection positioning. Fit
the stator leads into the wire loops in the recrifier. Using a
pair of pliers squeeze the loop to retain the stator lead prior
to soldering. Repeat for each lead in turn, solder the leads
into position using 60/40 resin cored solder. Make sure the
leads will be clear of the internal fan when the rotor is
assmebled into the stator.
(g) Carefully install the rotor into the stator/slipring end housing assembly, noting the alignment of the housings and through
bolt holes. Fit the through bolts making sure the stator is
seated correctly, tighten the through bolts to the correct
torque setting (uneven torque can produce magnetic noise
levels above normal).
(h) Fitting the regulator. Compress the brushes into the brush holder by hand, slip the regulator through the opening in the
rear of the slipring end housing until the brushes come in
contact with the slipring. Press the regulator towards the
slipring until the holes are aligned then fit the retaining
screws and tighten.

STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM 6D3-19
Inspection
Generator
Before any in field testing can be undertaken it is important
that the battery's conditions is established and the terminals
are clean and tight.

Check the condition of the generator drive belt and ensure that
it is adjusted in accordance with the engine manufacturer's
recommnedations.

Battery conditions:
Note: This assessment may be difficult with maintenance free
assemblies.

Test the specific gravity of the individual cells the readings
should be within 10 points of each other, it is recommended
that the average SG should be 1.260 or higher.
A load test should be carried out to determine the ability of the
battery to supply and accept current. This is a good indicator
as to the general condition of the battery.
A load equal to the normal starting current should be placed
across the battery, the duration of this load test should not
exceed 10 seconds, during this time the terminal voltage
across the battery should not drop below 9.6 volts. Observe
each cell for signs of excessive gas liberation, usuall an
indication of cell failure.
If the battery test is clear proceed with the Generator tests as
follows.

Care should be taken when making the following connections.
It is recommended that the battery negative terminal be
disconnected before the test meters are connected, and
reconnecting the negative terminal when the meters are
inserted into the circuit under test. The warning lamp in the D+
circuit should not exceed 2 watts.

Regulating voltage test on the vehicle.
Connect a voltmeter to the generator, the positive lead to the
B+ terminal and the nagative lead to the generator casing.
Select the voltage range to suit the system, i.e. 20v for 12 volt
sysytems or 40v for 24 volt systems. Connect an ammeter in
series with the main output cable from the B+ terminal on the
generator, the range selected must be capable of reading the
maximum output from the generator.

Note the voltmeter reading before starting the engine. This
reading should increase when the engine is running indicating
generator output, start the engine and increase the engine
speed until the generator is running at 4000 rpm, switch on
vehicle loads of 5-10 A is indcated on the ammeter, the
voltmeter shoud read 14.0-14.2 v for a 12 volt system, for a 24
volt system the readings should be 5-10 A and 27.7-28.5 volts.
