Generator TM errors

Hello guys,
A little while ago there was a thread talking about errors found in the generator TM's and we had discussed potentially creating Sticky's for these Errors.
I came across another error recently and it mad me remember that thread and wonder what happened to it.
In this instance I was building an AC control box out of parts I have on hand for an 003 for another SS member who's box was ransacked by it's previous tenants ( mice )
After building it up and testing it, I noticed there is a picture of the CVT winding in the -34 TM which shows 3 wraps of each pair of wires through the CVT holes.
The correct wire wrap is 8 conductors total through each hole for an 002 and 4 conductors total for an 003 box.

What page was it on?

Pg. 95 ( 6-16.1 ) Fig. 6 7.1

I think I'll look at the 002 TM and see how may wires that image shows.

002 TM shows the same image. Guess it's not intended to be accurate.
I must be missing where ever it says how many windings it should have.

I looked at schematics till my eyes bled. Can not see it anyplace. AND YET, I could swear I have read it someplace.

Me too! I've seen or read it before, but no luck looking anywhere.
Luckily I had one of my machines to use as a reference AND knew an 003 needed 1/2 as many turns as the 002 box I was using for the donor parts, so 4 wires per hole... The SS member buying the box also had a damaged one on hand to confirm 4 wires per.
But for the guy building one without a reference, he's up the creek in a wire canoe!

I talked to the Master tech. That info was never included in the TM's. Kinda stupid.

Ray, do you or Kurt know how to unlock the schematic and maybe add the info to the area where I here displayed. Maybe with bigger letters? Or maybe someplace else in the schematic that people might just look at. For that matter, why not the -12 & -34 TM's? We could take a copy of the -12 & -34 TM, make the changes and then replace the TM's in the forum (Both MEP-002A & MEP-003A)

I was able to edit a copy of an 002 -34 TM to add the info from your screenshot.
Not too difficult to do in Microsoft Edge PDF viewer and its editing tools.

I would assume that if we extracted that page, made the change and inserted it again, we would have a win/win situation? The copy you changed is complete? We could in fact insert it in the TM forum? Then remove the old copy? Do the same with the 003A TM?

Do we know of any other mistakes we can correct?

It probably belongs on the page with the picture of the CVT winding, but can we add a note to that page, figure 6 7.1 that says an "002 CVT assembly has 8 wires total through each hole" and a "003 CVT assembly has 4 wires total through each hole"?
If we're going to modify the TM anyway?

If we are going to do it, than its better, I think, in at least two places.

What I did was just a test markup to see if it's possible. Basically, it's just adding text "notes" to an existing PDF.
I don't have a way of marking up just 1 page and swapping it into other PDFs without a fancy PDF editor.
If it's just a few notes like I did in my test TM in say two TM's per genset it wouldn't be a big deal for me to do.

I do have some corrections for the 802 & 803 TMs in the schematics that I came across when I did the Excel wire lists for them.

Well then give it a shot for both gen sets. If you are happy with the results, then up load them in the TM upload forum, and I will swap them out. If you want, we can do the same thing with the TQG's.
