How to Maintain a Car Generator?

[DominicLynn]

Car generator maintenance methods: 1. Pay attention to the wear of the bearings. If insufficient lubrication is found, a few drops of oil can be added from the oil cup opening, but be careful not to let it seep into the rectifier, as this may affect the electrical transmission efficiency; 2. If the rectifier accumulates dirt, it can be polished with fine sandpaper; 3. If the contact surface of the brush is uneven, it can be leveled with fine sandpaper. If the spring's elasticity is insufficient or the brush is excessively worn, replace them with new parts. If the brush is too short but not damaged, a shim can be inserted into the bracket to ensure tight contact with the rectifier; 4. If the brush bracket insulator is damaged, replace it with a new part; 5. If the generator's pole terminals are loose, they must be tightened immediately. If there is poor insulation, remove and repair it.
