You need a battery or charger and some wires. Connect the minus side to both the DF and generator case. Hold the generator in your hand firmly, so it won't jump out. Connect the plus side to the D+ terminal. It will spark a bit, just don't let your wire touch the case. If the generator turns smoothly then it's good. If it turns with jerks, or not at all, then it has a problem. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
