VOLTAGE REGULATOR / RECTIFIER
The voltage regulator (Figure 44) automatically
controls the alternator charging rate. No attempt
should be made to adjust the setting of the
regulator.
If the charge indicator warning light indicates that
the alternator is not charging the battery, check the
wiring connections and/or fan belt. If these are
satisfactory and the warning light continues to
indicate no charge, consult your RANSOMES
Dealer.
Figure 44 - Voltage Regulator
NOTE: If a battery is being installed, MAKE
CERTAIN that the positive (+) cable is connected
first and that the negative terminal is connected to
ground. Reverse polarity will destroy the rectifier
diodes in the regulator.
FUSES
The fuse box is shown in Figure 45. The plastic fuse
cover is easily removed by pulling it off. Always
replace blown fuses with the specified fuse. If the
new fuse happens to quickly blow out, contact your
dealer for inspection and repair. Never use any wire
or foil.
