What procedure did you use to polarize the generator?

I take the Field wire loose from the regulator and quickly brush the end of it across the Battery terminal of the regulator, then re-connect the Field wire.
So you're Not applying battery power to the Field terminal of the Regulator, only to the Field wire that leads to the Generator.
