1.
Remove the louvered metal plate covering the terminal connections and the capacitor (see page 56).
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/fuel
solenoid linkage as needed
to
obtain the correct engine speed before proceeding. (See page 73.)
3.
Referring
to
the AC load connections diagram below, check the generator's no-load current
by
measur-
ing the voltage across the neutral lead and the hot lead with a volt meter. Make sure you record this read-
ing. 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 correct Hertz lead
(60
Hertz
#6,
or
50 Hertz
#5)
is plugged into the
capacitor. Refer
to
the illustration on the
top
of
the next page.
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.
5.
Refer
to
the illustration on the next page before making any adjustments. Note that there are three plugs
grouped
for
the right capacitor terminal,
#7, #8,
and
#9.
If the generator's no-load voltage is low, then
disconnect the lower numbered 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
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 numbered plug is connected, then follow the steps at the bottom
of
the next page. Ask your
local Westerbeke dealer for a
Be
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE before performing the steps
listed at the bottom
of
the next page.
NOTE: Make sure the insulating covers on the unused leads are
in
place and are not
in
con-
tact with each other
or
are
in
contact with the generator's housing.
