1. Strip about 1 inch (2-1/2 cm) of coating from both ends of 3 copper wires. Scrape ends with knife until metal is shiny. 2. Connect the A and F terminals with one piece of wire. 3. Connect a wire to the A terminal. Connect another to the G terminal. Note: The F and G or C terminals may not be labeled; in this case, connect wires as shown. The F terminal is usually smaller in size than the C or G terminal. 4. Wrap several turns of string or wire clockwise around the drive pulley. How to Use 1. Connect the free ends of the wires to the light bulb.
2. Place one foot on the generator to secure it in place. Give the string or wire a very hard pull to light the bulb. Note: If not successful at first, rewind string and try again several times. After repeating this operation and the bulb still does not light, follow step 4, How to Use. 3. If light bulb lights, follow steps 1 and 2 of above, How to Use, connecting free ends of wires to blasting cap or igniter instead of to light bulb. 4. If light bulb does not light after several pulls, switch leads connected to F and G terminals. Repeat above How to Use, steps 1 to 3. 7.12 Improvised Battery (Short Lasting) This battery is powerful but must be used within 15 minutes after fabrication. One cell of this battery will detonate one blasting cap or one igniter. Two cells, connected in series, will detonate two of these devices and so on. Larger cells have a longer life as well as greater power.
