INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the starter mounting surface is clean and smooth.
2. Mount the starter and check that the position of the solenoid is
away from direct heat sources and other components. If there
are clearance problems, the starter housing can be rotated to
move the location of the solenoid. This is done by removing
the three bolts on the mounting block and repositioning the
starter motor (Figure 1).
