No-Load Voltage Adjustment
If the generator was producing the correct no-load voltage before the hertz change, this adjustment
may not be necessary. In the event a no-load adjustment is needed, proceed as follows.
A. Shut off the generator.
Do not attempt to make a no-load voltage adjustment while the generator is operating. The
capacitor can hold a 450 - 500 volt charge. Touching any wiring can result in a severe electri-
cal shock. In addition, attempting to make a no-load voltage adjustment while the generator
is operating can cause fingers to be caught in the generator's rotor.
B. Refer to the illustrations below before making any adjustments. Note that there are three plugs grouped
for the right capacitor terminal, #7, #8, and #9 .. Ifthe generator's no-load voltage is low, then discon-
nect the lower number plug and connect the plug with the next higher number. If the generator's no-
load voltage is high, then disconnect the higher numbered plug and connect the plug with the next lower
number. Note that the plug presently connected to this terminal may be anyone of the three plugs avail-
able.
