To adjust the clearance, increase or decrease the number of fiber
washers
on
the
solenoid mounting
surface.
Increasing
the washers
decreases the amount of clearance.
CAUTION:
Avoid applying voltage continuously for over 20 seconds
to prevent overheating of the solenoid.
In this test, after reassembling, if the pinion fails to jump out
or if the pinion gap is too big or too small, faulty shift lever,
improper
installation of plunger
spr ing or
faulty solenoid
is
possible.
Reassembly
For reassembling, reverse the order of disassembling.
CAUTION:
In the installed position of the starter, the starter
shaft must be exactly in parallel with the axis of center of the
engine.
The starter must be securely installed so it will not
move when starting the engine.
If the tightening is insufficient
or if any foreign substance exists on the mounting surface, the
bracket
may
be
broken
or
cocking
of
the
starter
may
occur.
Insure the mounting surfaces are clean.
The star ter per formance largely depends on the wir ing and bat-
tery.
Use proper size wire for the distance between the battery
and the starter and tighten the terminals securely.
ALTERNATOR
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A HIGH-VOLTAGE TESTER SUCH AS A MEGGER: OTHERWISE A
DAMAGED DIODE RESULTS.
DURING HIGH-SPEED OPERATION OF THE ENGINE, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY FROM THE (A) TERMINAL
OF THE REGULATOR.
A VOLTAGE SURGE WILL OCCUR THAT WILL DAMAGE
ALTERNATOR DIODES SHOULD THESE CONNECTIONS BE OPENED.
DO
NOT
RUN
THE
ENGINE
WITH
THE
LEAD
DISCONNECTED
FROM
THE
(B) TERMINAL OF THE ALTERNATOR.
THE INTERNAL REGULATOR VOLTAGE
COIL WILL BE DAMAGED.
WHEN MAKING A RAPID CHARGE OF BATTERY USING A QUICK CHARGER, BE
SURE
TO
DISCONNECT
THE
BATTERY
CABLES:
OTHERWISE
DAMAGED
ALTERNATOR DIODES WILL RESULT.
WHEN USING A STEAM CLEANER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRECT CONTACT
OF STEAM WITH THE ALTERNATOR.
The charging system consists of an alternator with internal voltage
regulator,
engine
mounted
circuit
breaker,
battery
and
connecting
wires.
Because of the use of IC's (integrated circuits), the elec-
tronic voltage regulator
is very compact and is builtin the rear
bracket of the alternator.
