CAUTION:
Operate
the
regulator
with
these
connections only during cold weather and when
operating periods
are
short
or
Infrequent.
Re-
establish the

Increasing
Regulator
Voltage
During
winter
operation,
if
rundown
batteries
are
repeatedly
experienced
and
the
condition
is
found
to
be
due
to
short
or
infrequent
engine
op-
eration,
it
is
advisable
to
increase
temporarily
the
operating
voltage
of
the
reg-ulator.
A
simple
method
of
increasing
voltage
is
to
disconnect
the
lead
to
regulator
"BAT"
terminal
and
reconnect
this
lead
to
the
regulator
"L"
terminal.
The
reconnection
bypasses
the
cur-
rent-
voltage
feature
of
the
regulator,
automa
tic-
ally
allowing
an
increase
in
the
operating
voltage
and
increasing
the
amount
of
charge
to
the
bat-
tery.
