Mating mark: Rear bracket and yoke

Disassembly: Pinion

• For removal of the pinion, current must be supplied to the starter
such that the pinion springs out.
WARNING
• When the starter is energized, the pinion will spring out and
rotate. Be careful not to touch it with your hands.
• The magnetic switch may become very hot during inspec-
tions. Be careful when touching it.
CAUTION
• Do not energize the pull-in coil P for longer than 10 sec-
onds, and do not energize the holding coil H for longer than
30 seconds. If these periods are exceeded, the coils may
overheat and burn out.
• To make the pinion spring out, be sure to energize the start-
er such that its parts are positioned correctly. If the starter
is not energized and the lever is pulled to make the pinion
come out, the front bracket and/or lever may be damaged by
the shock inflicted upon them when the stopper ring is re-
moved.
• When current is supplied to the starter, a large current (100
A or higher) will flow. For inspection purposes, use booster
cables or similarly thick cables. It is also important to en-
sure that all connections are secure.
