Maybe your Dad didn't understand the concept either, same as all those people driving with their lights on to 'correct' an overcharge situation. Again, YOU regulate the output to suit the load requirements of the generator. You do this by moving the third brush and referring to the ammeter. After a while, it becomes so familiar, you'll just do it autocratically.
As I stated in an earlier post, just set the tension on the coverband sufficient to allow it to be slipped forward and backward and stay in place.
edit; sorry to repeat myself, it appears you've got it sorted.
