and adjustments
be
peiformed

ADJUSTMENT
1.
Remove
the
louvered metal
plate,
at
the
back of
the
generator,
covering
the
AC
terminal connections
and
the
capacitor(s).
2.
Start
the
generator
and
allow
it
to
run for approximately
five
minutes
so
the
engine
can
warm
up.
Make
sure
the
generator
is
operating without
any
equipment
drawing
AC
current
from
the generator (that
is,
shut off
all
electrical
appliances).
Make
sure
the engine's speed
(Hertz)
is
correct. Adjust the governor
as
needed
to
obtain
the
correct engine speed before proceeding.
3. Refer
to
the
AC
load connections diagram for
the
correct
configuration then check the generator's no-load voltage
by
measuring the voltage
across
the
neutral
lead
an~
the
hot
lead
with
a
volt
meter.
Make
sure
you
record
thIS
reading.
The generator's no-load voltage
is
115
-
124
volts
at
60.5
-
61.5
Hertz.
If
the
voltage
output
is
higher or
lower
than
specified, proceed.
4.
Shut
off
the
generator.
Make
sure
the
60Hz
Hertz
lead
is
plugged into
the
capacitor.
A
WARNING:
CapaCitors
must
be
discharged
before
handling
as
they
store
electricity
and
can
pack
a
poten-
tially
lethal
charge
even
when
disconnected
trom
their
power
source.
NOTE:
Simply
cross
the
capacitor's
two
terminals
with
an
insulated (plastic
handle)
screwdriver.
This
will
discharge
any
excess
electricity.

A
WARNING:
Make
certain
the
insulating
covers
on
the
unused
leads
are
in
place
and
are
NOT
in
contact
with
each
other
or
in
contact
with
the
generator's
housing.
A
WARNING:
00
not
attempt
to
make
a
no-load
voltage
adjustment
while
the
generator
is
operating.
The
capacitor
can
produce
a
400-500
volt
charge.
Touching
any
wiring
can
produce
a
severe
electrical
shock.
In
addition,
attempting
to
make
a
no-load
voltage
adjustment
while
the
generator
is
operating
could
cause
your
fingers
to
be
caught
in
the
generator's
rotor.
5.
There
are
three plugs grouped for
the
right capacitor
ter-
minal,
#7,
#8,
and
#9. If
the
generator's no-load
voltage
is
low,
then
disconnect
the
lower
numbered
plug
and
con-
nect
the
plug
with
the
next
higher
number.
If
the
genera-
tor'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
available.
6.
If
the
generator's no-load voltage cannot be adjusted
because the voltage
needs
to
be increased
and
the
highest
numbered
plug
is
already connected
to
the right
terminal,
or the voltage
needs
to
be
lowered
and
the lowest
num-
bered plug
is
connected, refer
to
the
WESTERBEKE
BC
Generator Troubleshooting Guide).
