The switch should be turned full CCW. The Bat terminal on the voltage regulator should be taken off. The battery cables and terminals need to be wire brushed to shiny metal then reinstalled. As they are connected there should be no sparking. If there is, something is either wired wrong, or it has a short to ground. If no spark, go to the generator and retouch that wire you removed. If it sparks it is a faulty regulator. If no spark, reconnect the terminal. Now use a jumper wire (solid 12 gauge or 10 gauge copper wire with plastic insulation removed from ends for 1/2") to jump for one second between the Bat terminal and the Arm terminal on the voltage regulator. Battery connected, engine off. It will spark some it is normal and will not hurt you. This polarizes the generator for charging. If no discharge on the gauge start the tractor. Always be prepared to remove the battery cable from the battery if things discharge, or smoke. Jim
