| X7782. 10.5.30. PHANTOM II INSTRUCTION BOOK Suggested re-arrangement of Chapter III. Electric Lighting, Starting and Ignition Systems. General - Dynamo - Distribution box - Switchbox - Ammeter - Battery and connections - Use of charging switch - Battery ignition - Magneto ignition - Firing order of cylinders - Automatic control of ignition timing - Hand control of ignition timing - Sparking plugs - Klaxon horn and connections - Accessory distribution box - Starter circuits - Starter motor - Push button switch - Electrically operated main and auxiliary switch unit - Use of Battery for starter - Battery discharge - Additional electrical apparatus - Charging in position from external source - Electrical fault location. General. The equipment.................. metal tubing. There is also a small distribution box for the convenience of making accessory connections and small junction boxes for convenience of circuit dis-connections. Incorporated with...........instrument board.......... The wiring diagram (Fig. ) shows these units roughly in their relative positions, with their electrical connections, the various wires being indicated in colours to correspond with those of their actual coverings. The directions of current flow, where these do not reverse are indicated by arrows. It will be seen that the electrical system is earthed from the negative side of the battery to the chassis frame, and that all hand switching, with the exception of that of the Klaxon horn is done at the positive leads. Before doing.................is passing............ | ||
