(1) Connector to the motor

(2) Switch terminal

(3) Ground terminal

1. Install the solenoid without connector (1) from the MOTOR connections (terminal) on the solenoid to the motor.

2. Connect a battery, that has the same voltage as the solenoid, to the "SW" terminal (2) .

3. Connect the other side of the battery to ground terminal (3) .

connection (terminal). The pinion will shift to the crank position and the pinion will stay there until the battery is
disconnected.

5. Push the pinion toward the end with the commutator in order to remove free movement.

6. Pinion clearance (A) must be 9.10 mm (0.358 inch).

7. In order to adjust the pinion clearance, remove the plug and turn the shaft nut (4) .

8. After the adjustment is completed, install the plug over the nut (4) and install the connector (1) between the
MOTOR terminal on the solenoid and the starting motor.
