The genereator generates the electricity necessary for ignition, lights and signal horn. Also the
alternator charges the battery through a controller switch.

The battery functions as a direct current shunt link alternator. The alternator is made from two main
parts. The anchor and the holding cap.
The controller switch is installed on the blowerhousing and keeps the alternators voltage steady,
regardless of the number of revolutions the engine is doing or how many of the lights are currently
turned on.
Also the controller switch automatically switches the battery off, when reaching a high enough
number of revolutions as well as switching battery support on when the revolutions fall under a
certain amount. When the red controll lamp on the controlpanel expires, the battery is being
charged by the alternator. When the red control lamp is on, it shows that the battery is currently
feeding the electrical system.
The anchor that carries the commutator, sits directly on the cone of the right crank pivot. It gets
screwed together with the circuit breaker cam using a long hexagonal nut. The holding cap contains
the pole housing with poles and field coils on the inside. The front face carries the circuit breaker
and the condenser as well as the brushes that are forced onto the commutator by springs and
supply the current. A three wired cable connects the alternator with the regulator-aggregate and the
circuit breaker with the ignition coil. The aeration of the of the alternator housing, wich is enclosed
by a housing lid, is achieved by a sufficiently large breakout in the partition wall of the housing. The
housing lid itself carries a little detachable plate, which if taken off the housing lid, enables easy
monitoring of brushes, condenser and commutator.
