PROCEDURE
INSPECT GENERATOR BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.
| Standard exposed length |
|---|
| 9.5 to 11.5 mm (0.374 to 0.453 in.) |
| Minimum exposed length |
|---|
| 4.5 mm (0.177 in.) |
If the brush length is less than the minimum, replace the generator brush holder assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Slip Ring |
Check the rotor for an open circuit.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
| *1 | Slip Ring |
| *2 | Rotor Core |
Check if the rotor is grounded.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.
Check that the slip rings are not rough or scored.
If rough or scored, replace the generator rotor assembly.
Using a vernier caliper, measure diameter of the slip rings.
| Standard diameter |
|---|
| 14.2 to 14.8 mm (0.559 to 0.583 in.) |
| Minimum diameter |
|---|
| 14.0 mm (0.551 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the generator rotor assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR BEARING
Check that the bearing is not rough or worn, and that it rotates smoothly.
If the bearing does not rotate smoothly, replace the generator rotor assembly.
INSPECT GENERATOR PULLEY
| *a | Free |
| *b | Lock |
Hold the center of the generator pulley, and check that the outer ring turns counterclockwise and does not turn clockwise.
If the result is not as specified, replace the generator pulley.
