control relay CR1.

Check control relay CR1: Check all connections, check coil continuity, check for proper coil voltage, and

check contact voltage (input to common and output to common) to ensure contacts are operating. Re-

place CR1 if indicated.

Disconnect stator leads 1, 4, and 90 (if applicable) from circuit breaker CB1, and check continuity bet-

ween leads. Replace generator if indicated.

Check capacitor C1 and replace if indicated.
