Automobile automotive electrical generator is an important component, its function is of two parts: the needs of the electricity supply portion; to charge the battery. To keep the generator in the car with the constant steady state power, should regularly do the following maintenance work.

1, tightness generator belt must be adjusted appropriately, and then fixed calibration screw, tripod screw generator should maintain a certain tightness.

2, bearing wear off very, should be replaced with new parts. The case of a lack of oil, from the oil cup mouth drop a few drops of oil, but not too much, to prevent the infiltration of the rectifier and fouling.

3, rectifiers fouling or burned black, available fine emery cloth polished, such as an insulator too, should cut below the fairing.

4, brush contact surface uneven, use a fine emery cloth tie. Spring weak, short brush loss shall be replaced with new parts. Short brush without damage, the available gaskets stuffing holder to the rectifier adhesion.

5, brush holder insulator damage shall reprovision new parts.

6, pole generator loose, shall be properly fastened, such as poor insulation system, should be removed for repair.

7, a third brush adjustment: If the current limit is too small, you can turn the direction of the third brush along the armature movement, such as limiting the current is too large, you can move the third brush against the direction of rotation of the armature.

8, generator failure occurs in the middle, but not too far away from the destination, will be through the field coil wire voltage regulator can be removed, such as the Department of the three brush generators, shall remove a third brush, the generator does not power generation. Use of battery power supply, and you should as far as possible to save electricity.

9, dust ring on the generator should be strong, do not take down, to prevent dust from entering the interior, resulting in mechanical failure.

10. Always clean the wires, keep it dry, can leak electricity.
