Ammeter mearue current so there isn't a positive and negative side, it is measure the flow of current so if its hooked up backwards it will read backwards. it shouldn't hurt the meter. I don't know which side comes from the generator and which side goes to the battery. you can take a 12 vilt light bulb, or 6 volt which ever you trucks voltage is and connect that with a battery. run 1 lead from the battery to the meter, then the other side of the meter to the light, then from the light on the other terminal of the light back to the battery. the light should be on and the meter will show a reading, it should be a discharge. that should tell you what you need to know. I hope this helps.
