Section III. OPERATIONAL TESTS
9-5. GENERATOR AND GENERATOR CONTROL CIRCUITRY.
Test per table 9-1.
NOTE
Resistor R3 (20, figure 6-10) in the output
control box, must be adjusted as follows before
performing any tests:
a. Remove wire D26F16 from TB3- 1 and connect 0
to 1 amp ac test ammeter as shown in figure 9-1.
b. Place output control switch in 120 position.
c. With the generator operating at rated speed
(1800 RPM) the generator field can be flashed by
placing the master switch on the control box in the
start position.
d. Close the circuit interrupter and apply rated
load.
e. Adjust R3 until ammeter previously installed
reads 0.6 amps. Tighten locknut on R3. R3 is now adjusted
properly.
f. Disconnect test equipment and proceed with testing
in accordance with test schedule table 9-1.

It was recommended that we do this if we changed the AC output box.
