STEP 9. Reconnect the battery
terminals, starting with the positive
and ending with the negative.
STEP 10. Start the engine. In order
to not exceed the duty cycle of the
starter, please do not operate the
starter for more than 30 seconds at
a time. Allow the starter to cool at
least two minutes between repeated
cycles.

Slow Cranking: Generally this can
be attributed to low voltage at the
starter.

R-Terminal: On older vehicles with
point type ignition systems, there
was an extra terminal and wire on
the original starter. This fed 12V
