10. Connect the leads from the remote starter
button to the Battery and Switch terminals,
Fig. 10.21.
IMPORTANT: Steps 11, 12, and 13 must be done
rapidly. Do not load the battery for more than 15
seconds at one time. After the battery has been
loaded for 15 seconds, let the starter cool for 60
seconds.
11. Actuate the starter and turn the load control
until the voltmeter indicates 11 volts.
12. Look at the ammeter and make a record of the
ammeter indication.
13. Use the hand held tachometer, Fig. 10.21, and
check the armature shaft speed. Make a
record of armature shaft speed.
14. Release the remote starter button and turn the
load control to the OFF position.
15. If the current draw and the armature shaft
speed are within the ranges under Specifica-
tions, the starter is good.
16. Low armature shaft speed and high current
draw are indications of too much friction.
Possible causes of too much friction are:
(a) Tight, dirty, or worn bearings.
(b) A bent armature shaft.
(c) Loose pole shoes (pole shoes make
contact with the armature).
(d) A short circuit in the armature coil. Disas-
semble the starter. Use an armature
tester to test the armature. Use the
instructions included with the armature
tester.
(e) Damaged field coil. Do the tests de-
scribed in paragraph g.
17. If the armature does not rotate and the current
draw is high, possible causes are:
(a) Field terminal making contact with the field
frame. Inspect the insulators for the field
terminal.
(b) Damaged field coil. Do the tests de-
scribed in paragraph g.
(c) Damaged bearings.
18. If the armature does not rotate and the current
draw is zero, possible causes are:
(a) An open field circuit. Disassemble the
starter and inspect field coil connections.
(b) An open armature coil. Disassemble the
starter and check for burned commutator
