PERFORMANCE TEST

The starter should be submitted to performance tests whenever it has been overhauled, to assure its satisfactory performance when installed on the engine.

Three performance tests, no-load test, load test, and lock test, are presented here; however, if the load test and lock test cannot be performed, carry out at least the no-load test.

For these performance tests, use the circuit shown in figure.

Scheme 9: PERFORMANCE TEST
  1. No-load test Adjust the variable resistance with the switch on until the voltage is 11 V, and read the value displayed on the ammeter to measure rotating speed. Compare these values with the standard. No-load test (standard): Voltage/Current Max. 11 V/90 A or less Rotating speed 1, 550 RPM or more
  2. Load test Apply the specified braking torque to starter. The condition is normal if the current draw and rotating speed are within standard. Load test (standard): Voltage/Load 8 V/12.8 N.m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb) or more Current/Rotating speed 370 A/800 RPM or more
  3. Lock test With the starter stalled, or not rotating, measure the torque developed and current draw when the voltage is adjusted to standard voltage. Lock test (standard): Voltage/Current 3 V/750 A or less Torque 19.0 N.m (1.9 kgf-m, 14.0 ft-lb) or more

OTHER INSPECTIONS

Check that the starter does not have deformation, cracks and any other damage.

INSPECTION

WARNINGElectrolyte is corrosive acid, and has toxicity; be careful of handling the fluid. Make sure the electrode does not come into contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Especially at contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. In addition, be careful not to let the electrode contact with the coated parts. Be careful when handling the batteries because they produce explosive gases. Be sure to keep battery away from any fire. For safety, in case an explosion does occur, wear eye protection or shield your eyes when working near any battery. In addition, never lean over the battery. Ventilate sufficiently when using or charging battery in enclosed space. Before starting work, remove rings, metal watch-bands, and other metal jewelry. Never allow metal tools to contact the positive battery terminal and anything connected to it while you are at the same time in contact with any other metallic portion of the vehicle.
