STARTING SYSTEM S t a r t e r -
Assembly
Before commencing assembly, note should be taken of the
following points:
8
Lubricate only sparingly, as per S.D.S.
8
Ensure that drive shaft is free of burrs.
Always renew all bushings (sintered bushings should be soaked
in oil before fitting).
Armature length play can only be adjusted before stator frame
is fitted.
8
Any numbers only to be stamped on side of drive end housing.
8
Do not connect starter motor incorrectly, as permanent
magnets will be damaged.
8
New brush holder assembly with one directional brushes.
Please read following carefully.
The brush holder consists of a thermo-set plastic with the
detachable brush cages. The brushes are manufactured from
two (2) carbon compounds with the leading edge being of a
harder brush compound.
Special attention must be paid when installing the brushes.
The brush, when viewed from top, displays two (2) noses with
the central nose positioning the brush spring. The second nose
is indicating the installation position. The starter motor "rotation
indicating nose" faces toward the thermo-set plastic brush
holder plate.
Difficulties may be experienced when replacing brushes due to the
shorter length of the brush leads and soldering the leads to the brush
plate assembly (stiffening of the leads and poor solder joints).
It is therefore recommended that during normal overhaul the
complete brush plate assembly be replaced.
