Steve Et. Al ;
Remember : all V.R. adjustments -MUST- be made with the generator and
voltage regulator warmed up else the settings will drift as the
weather warms up .this means heated garage at this time of year .
For the non screw adjuster typ regulaTORS , USE SOME CORRECTLY
FITTING NEEDLE NOSE OR DUCK BILL PLIERS TO GENTLY ANMD S L O W L Y
(oops) bend the lower hooks where the springs attach .
I always have my ammeter connected to the generator's ARM. terminal
when setting the charge rate and amperes .
it's tricky work and can easily fry your electrics .
You DON'T need a carbon pile but if you should find a Sun VAT-40 ,
lemme know ASAP ! .
