Before you start your prize, POLARIZE!

[<DILLARDP@edu-suu-lifac.li.suu.edu>]

Ah dear friends, if you disconnect your generator from the voltage regulator,
be absitively posolutely sure to POLARIZE the generator before re-connecting
it and starting your engine.

I didn't do that after rewiring everything from the starter back, and that 
cost me a generator!

Yes, yes, I know, I know... I always POLARIZE it...I never forget to 
POLARIZE it... I always make it a priority to POLARIZE it...except, ahem, 
this one time.

And it cost me a generator plus a large chunk of time removing/replacing
the generator (this was on my Type II, aptly eclept "Hitler's Revenge").

If you don't know how to POLARIZE your generator, any good manual will have
an illustration showing how to make simple connections to a battery.  I know,
because that illustration is in every one of the manuals that I ignored when I 
forgot to POLARIZE the crummy thing.

Oh, did I mention that you should "POLARIZE"????
