4. Turn off the engine. Using the 3/8” nut driver,

remove the exciter cover. See Figure F.2.

5. Start the engine. Using the volt/ohmmeter, careful-

ly check the DC voltage at the brush holders. See

Figure F.2. The right side brush holder is positive

polarity. Normal DC voltage is 125 - 135VDC with

the engine at the high idle speed of 1600 RPM.

6. If the DC voltage is normal at the brush holders, the

DC exciter armature and shunt coils are OK.

a. If the voltage is low or not present, proceed with

the shunt coil and series coil resistance tests.

b. If the correct DC voltage is present at the brush

holders but not at the 120VDC receptacle, the

series coil or associated leads may be faulty.

See the Wiring Diagram. Proceed with the

shunt coil and series coil resistance tests.
