ENGINE CRANKING SYSTEM

	STARTER MOTOR
	DESCRIPTION:
	The Starter Motor is a 12 volts negative ground type.
	It is capable of operating on heavy duty battery input
	at temperatures as low as -30 F. without any signifi-
	cant change in performance. Its pinion is a 10-tooth
	type having a 20- pressure angle.
	TESTING:
	Connect the test leads of a VOM across the Starter
	Motor terminal and case. Hold the Start-Run-Stop
	switch at "START". The VOM should read battery
	voltage and the Starter Motor should turn.
	If VOM reads 12 volts DC and the Motor does not
	turn, the Motor is probably defective. Remove the
Figure 3. Starter Contactor	Motor and test with a 12 volts DC power source.
	Replace the Starter Motor if defective.
