FAN AND PULLEY INFORMATION
Re-establishing magnetic fi eld.
If no output is obtained - See Service Manual for specifi c alternator test.
With engine running, disconnect plug between alternator and regulator and momentarily touch the male terminal (E1) from
the alternator plug to the negative output stud (E2) on the alternator (Figure E). Caution: Touching regulator terminal to
the negative output stud must be rapid to avoid possible alternator damage.
There are several conditions which may cause the alternator to loose its magnetic fi eld. To re-establish the magnetic fi eld, perform the
following procedure:
1. Review installation instructions step by step.
2. Check all wiring for clean and secure connections.
3. Excite fi eld coil to re-establish magnetic fi eld in rotor core. See instructions below for details.
4. If system still does not operate properly, connect ammeter and voltmeter to read alternator output. Set engine R.P.M. at 1500 to 2000.
Read amps and voltage and compare to chart.
If, after installation, the system does not meet specifi cations:
