General Description

This vehicle utilizes an integral regulator charging system. The Integrated Circuit (IC) regulator is a solid-state unit that is mounted inside the generator to the rectifier end frame. All regulator components are enclosed in a solid mold to protect them from heat and corrosive elements. The regulator voltage cannot be adjusted. The generator is serviceable and can be repaired at the dealership.

Charging Circuit:

The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two brushes carry current through two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor. Stator windings are assembled inside a laminated core that forms part of the generator drive and frame assembly. A rectifier bridge that contains eight diodes is connected to Stator windings. These diodes electrically change stator AC voltage into DC voltage. This DC voltage is then transmitted to the generator output terminal.
