B. Test the
stator (18) with an ohmmeter. Set the ohmmeter
on the 1 X scale and set it at "0". In upper coil, connect one
of the ohmmeter leads to the red wire and the other lead to
the black wire from the upper coil. If the ohmmeter shows a
low resistance reading the coil is good. Check the other coil
the same way. If the needle on ohmmeter deflected to zero
or if there was no deflection, the coil is bad and stator must
be replaced.
C. Place the two spacers (17) on the stator screws (16) . With
red wire of stator to the rear start the stator on the two
screws (16) and onto the ribs of the housing. Push it back as
far as it will go, then place a #10-32 nut (42) on each screw
(16). Tighten both nuts.
D. Check the cord and plug (63). If it is drying and cracking,
replace it. Skin the leads back 6" from end of cord and place
a black insulator on each lead. Push leads from bottom of
housing, up past the coil of the stator. Place black lead from
cord with black lead from stator. Lock in place with wire
connector (57). Connect white cord lead with white stator
lead and connect with wire connector (57). Tuck these wires
between stator and housing. See wiring diagram, Fig. 3.
E. Check the switch (7) with an ohmmeter. Connect the
ohmmeter leads to the green and yellow switch leads . Set
ohmmeter on the 1 X range. Snap switch on and off several
times for a good test. If the needle deflects each time the
switch is turned on, it is in good condition and can still be
used.
