The

is

pulled
into

the

so
that

it

operates
the

When

the
contacts

stationary
and

movable
are
dused

the
motor

operates
to
crank
the

engine
and
the
series

coil
of
the
solenoid
is
cut
out
The

magnetic
force
of
the

shunt
coil
is

sufficient
to
hold
the

pinion
in
mesh
after

shifting
the

system

When
the

engine
is

operated
and
the

ignition
switch
is

set
to
ON
the
series
coil

demagnetizes
the
shunt

coil
and
the
return

spring
actuates
the

plunger
to
return

to
the

original
position
Consequently
the

motor

stops

More

and

of
the

pinion
and

the

ring

teeth

are
secured

by
means
of
the
over

The

over

running

employs
a
shift

lever
to

slide
the

pinion
along
the

armature
shaft
so
as
to

engage
or

disengage
with
the

ring
gear

The

over

clutch
is

designed
to
transmit

driving
torque

from
the

motor
armature
to
the

ring

and

to

permit

the

three

alternating
current
is

induced
in

is

rectified

by
the

positive

diodes
The

This
action

causes
to

turn
off

and

complete
the

circuit
as

shown

by

When
the

the
movable

P2

is

separated
from

the

by
the

Therefore

register

is

applied

is

decreased
As
the

outpu

is

decreased
the

movable

contact

point
P2

and

primary
side

PI
comes

into

contact
once

again
and

the
alternator

voltage

increases

Thus
the

rapid
vibration

of
the

movable

contact

point
P2
maintains
an

alternator

output

voltage
to
constant

When
the

alternator

speed

further
increased
or
the

voltage
starts

rise

excessively
the

movable

P2

comes
into
contact
with

secondary
side

contact

point
finally
Then
the

field
current
is
shut
off
and

alternator

output
voltage
is
decreased

immediately
This

action

causes
to

separate
movable
contact
P2
from

secondary
contact
P3

Thus
the

rapid
vibration
of
the

movable
contact

point
P2
or

breaking

completing

the
field
circuit
maintains
an
alternator

output
voltage

Cap

must

always
be

kept
clean
to

maintain

good

since

high

is

imposed
on
them

Sometimes

Whenever

Condenser

Performance

of
condenser
is

affected

by

improper

setting
contamination
and

reduction
of
insulation

re

sistance
Thus

periodical
checking
is

required
to
maintain

the
outlet
of

clean
and

to

prevent
set
screw
from

loosening
Checking
the

condenser

capacity
is

checked

using
a

It

may
be

also
checked
condenser

isolate

using
a
tester

by

value

When

the
condenser
is
normal
the

tester

pointer

swings
largely

When
