Resistance Whisper 6 ULTRA

50Hz-230V

• Resistance both main stator windings 

0.77 Ohm

in series

• Resistance both rotor windings

2,00 Ohm

• Resistance exciter stator winding

1.91 Ohm

5.3.4 Meggering

One can try to measure resistance between the housing and

the windings with a multimeter which should read infinitely.

When readings indicate infinity but a fault is suspected

one can do a high voltage resistance test (MEGGERING)

This procedure should be carried out by an expert

5.4 

SPECIAL PROCEDURES ENGINE

5.4.1  Setting the RPM

RPM is set by the manufacturer and should not need

readjustment! However a very slight offset after running

in could occur. RPM can be measured by a frequency

meter. Before readjustment check any other explanation

for the wrong  speed. Engine speed is set at the factory

at nominal 1500 RPM (50 Hz).  A RPM drop of 5% at full

load is acceptable. Therefore a no load setting should be

at + 1575 RPM = 52.5 Hz. 

Under no circumstances should the RPM be under full

load below 1470 RPM = 49 Hz. When no cause can be

found for a wrong speed, the setting can be adjusted:

It is very important to identify the correct setting assem-

bly (refer to fig. 18).

The screw is to be locked in position with the lock-nut.

5.4.2

Adjusting valve clearance and retightening the

cylinder head bolts.

Both procedures has to be executed with a cold engine.

When both procedures are executed be sure to retighten

the cylinder head bolts before adjusting the valve clea-

rance.

When retightening the cylinderhead bolts, drain the coo-

lant by removing the drain plug (ref. to fig. 2). 

Loosen the bolts slightly, remove the rocker assembly

(the rocker arms, shaft, and stays) and then retighten the

bolts to the specified torque in the numerical order

illustrated (ref. to fig. 19).

Tightening torque:

M10 bolt 75-85 Nm

M8 bolt    20-30 Nm

Rocker stay tightening torque:

M8 bolt   15-22 Nm

The clearance of both valves intake and exhaust should

be 0.25 mm in cold condition. Set the piston of the first

cylinder to be adjusted to top dead centre (T.D.C.) of

compression stroke.

The T.D.C. of compression stroke can be found by

aligning the T.D.C. mark (notch) on the crankshaft pulley

with the mark on the gear case (ref. to fig. 20).

First align the the T.D.C. mark for the No. 1 cylinder.

Confirm that the valves do not move up or down when

the crankshaft is turned about 20 degrees  in normal and 

reverse direction of rotation.
