GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
GENERATOR STARTER MOTOR 
 
 
  
  066L300004065L300002
 
The basic charging system is the IC integral regulator charging system. The internal components are connected 
electrically as shown in charging circuit diagram. 
The generator features a solid state regulator that is mounted inside the generator. All regulator components are 
enclosed into a solid mold, and this unit along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the slip ring end frame. 
The generator voltage setting cannot be adjusted. 
The starter motor circuit is composed of a 4-pole 4-brush type direct current series motor. The starter motor circuit 
utilizes negative ground polarity.
