This is what it says in the Cub Operators Manual.
If the generator or the regulator has been removed or the leads disconnected, the generator should be repolarized. After the leads have been reconnected, but BEFORE the engine is started, proceed as follows; after making certain that the grounded battery terminal is the POSITIVE one, momentarily connect a jumper lead between the BAT terminal of the regulator and the A terminal of the generator. This allows a momentary surge of current to flow through the generator which correctly polarizes it. Reversed polarity may result in vibration, arching, and burning of the relay contact points. IMPORTANT do not touch the jumper lead to the F terminal on the generator. This will damage the regulator. This same information is in the M and 460 Manuals. Good luck!
