The generator field circuit fuse is contained in the knurled cup extending
from the bottom of the regulator. If the generator fails to charge, check for a
burnt-out fuse. Replacement should be made only with a 7½-
a
mpere, 25-volt
fuse.
A few drops of light oil should be supplied to cups (A), Figure 6, every
1,000 miles. Do not over-lubricate.
The generator is driven by the
"
V
"
type belt, which also drives the fan and
water pump. This belt must be kept sufficiently tight to prevent slippage on
the pulleys. When properly adjusted the belt will have from 1-1/4" to 1-3/4"
of slack at a point midway between the fan pulley and generator pulley, as
shown at (E), Figure 6. This adjustment provides sufficient tightness to
prevent slippage without causing undue wear of the fan and generator hearings.
To adjust belt tension, loosen nut (B) and swing generator away
from the engine until the correct position is obtained. Tighten nut (B)
Cooling System
Water Pump
The water pump is of the 6-vane type and is mounted in the forward end
of the cylinder head. The roller bearing at the forward end of the pump
shaft should he lubricated at 1,000-mile intervals through the pressure
fitting shown at (C), Figure 6, using a high-grade water pump grease.
The packing gland nut (D) should be drawn up only finger tight. Do not
use a wrench for tightening. If leakage occurs after tightening, or if nut
goes to the bottom of the thread, additional packing should be added.
Cooling System Operation
The cooling system is of the pump circulation type with thermostatic heat
control. This provides positive circulation, combined with a short warm-up
period, in spite of a total cooling capacity sufficient to give proper cooling
under the most unfavorable operating conditions.
When the water in the cooling system is cold, the thermostat which is
located in the radiator inlet connection causes the water delivered from the
engine by the pump to flow through a by-pass directly to the radiator outlet
hose. During the warming-up period, therefore, the water in the cylinder
jacket alone is circulated, while the water in the radiator is completely cut
off from the remainder of the cooling system.
