If I remember correctly, the generator is automatically polarized when the starter is engaged. Was on a post here a while back. This applies only to S/G's; not generators only.

The 1st sentence of the link Dutch just gave says WHY you have to polarize,only for pos//neg ground issues all our stuff is neg grd.,hence no polarization should be needed.I dont know of any LG's that were pos grd? A LOT of farm tracs[my cub lo- boy for one!] and old cars//trucks were,,

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
