Slip Ring End Frame - Assembly - CS-144 Generator

ASSEMBLE
1. Two locators from the brush holder with needle nose pliers or side cutters.
A. File the jagged edges down to the level of the surrounding material. Keep loose particles away from the brush slots.
B. Blow away any dust.

CS-144 Components (Part 1 Of 2):

CS-144 Components (Part 2 Of 2):

Stator Installed In The Slip Ring End Frame:

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Terminal insulator to the outside of the slip ring end frame.
2. BAT terminal to the rectifier bridge with a washer and nut.
3. Rectifier bridge into the end frame.
4. Capacitor.
^ Make sure the side with the insulator material is placed against the end frame (ground).
5. Two bolts through the rectifier bridge.
6. Two insulated screws through the rectifier bridge.

Regulator Connections:

^ If the brush holder, regulator, or connector has been replaced, connect it by crimping the connectors to the other components. Solder the connection using as little heat as possible to avoid heat damage to the regulator.
7. Brushes into the brush holder.
A. If the brushes are being reused, be sure they are clean. Wipe them with a clean dry cloth.
B. Retract the brushes into the holder.
C. Retain the retracted brushes with a retaining pin.
D. Make sure the pin extends through the end frame when the brush holder is in place. After the rotor and drive end frame are installed, the pin will be pulled out, allowing the brushes to contact the slip rings.

Slip Ring End Frame With Starter Removed:

8. Brush holder, regulator and connector assembly into the end frame.
^ The metal side of the capacitor strap should rest against the regulator connection.
9. One bolt into the brush holder.
^ If a brush holder with locator bosses is being replaced with a holder without locators, make sure to align the brush holder assembly. Hold it with your fingers while tightening the brush holder attaching screw.
10. Two insulated screws through the regulator connector.

Rectifier Bridge In End Frame:

11. Stator into the end frame, aligning the three stator leads to the three rectifier bridge terminals.
12. Three rectifier bridge nuts. Tighten the nuts securely.
