DOUBLE CONTACT REGULATOR

While most regular adjustments are made on the vehi-

cle as outlined under "Maintenance and Adjustments",

the regulator may be removed for field relay point and

air gap adjustment. However, voltage regulating contacts

should never be cleaned as they are made of special

material that may be destroyed by cleaning with any

abrasive material.

A sooty or discolored condition of the

contacts is normal after a relatively short

period of operation.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To remove the regulator assembly, disconnect the bat-

tery ground cable and the wiring harness connector at the

regulator, then remove the screws securing the regulator

to the vehicle.

Electrical settings must be checked and adjusted after

making mechanical adjustments. Before installing regu-

lator cover, make sure the rubber gasket is in place on

the regulator base.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS

Only an approximate voltage regulator

air gap setting should be made by the "feeler

gauge" method.
