Leave the contol box adjustment to a qualified auto electrician. It should not need touching unless there is a fault and then the problem is more usually the dynamo.
You will have to buy a set of jump leads (breakdown cables) and keep them under the boot floor next to the spare wheel. They are not supplied wth the car.
Or do you mean a tow rope which you will also have to buy?

If you have the starting handle, you have no need of jumper cables (if you can use the handle without injuring yourself).

The voltage you see there indicates the dynamo IS charging. It will not charge at low engine speed - it must be held at a 'fast idle' to have any hope of worthwhile charging. If you need to tow the car with a rope - tie it around both the tie-bars, or round both the lower front suspension arms. DO NOT attach just to one side......
