Which way is which?. Toward you reduces amp? and away increases? About half the time I get it wrong and have to redo the adjustment./

Steve,
That's why I buy T's made before generators! Eliminated a lot of my headaches

Amperage increases with rotation - C.W. which is towards engine - decreases when shifted away or towards you.
