Attention! Housing must get ground, so that it can regulate!
CAUTION: A. Be sure battery cables are not reversed. Reversal of battery polarity could damage both alternator and regulator. B. Never disconnect either battery terminal with the engine running, as this can destroy the regulator. The resulting high voltages can also damage the rest of the electrical system. 4. Before installing new regulator, check for a short to ground in the wiring (see wiring diagram) from regulator to alternator field. Damage to the regulator can be caused by excessive current draw as a result of short. 5. Be sure all connections throughout the Regulator-Alternator Circuit are clean and tight. 6. Be sure rectifiers are not shorted or open. 7. After the previous checks have been made, it is still advisable to make sure the rest of the charging system is working properly, in order to avoid damaging the new regulator. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions or, at least, the following Quick Check should be made: A. Remove plug from regulator. B. Insert jumper wire into the field terminal of the plug. C. Start engine. D. Run the engine at a fast idle and momentarily ground the other end of the jumper wire. The ammeter should indicate a (+) charge. If it doesn't, there is trouble outside the regulator that must be cleared up before the new regulator is installed.
