Proper installation of your StarTek
Starter is essential for trouble free
operation. Correct alignment and
spacing is required. Please read all
instructions before installing your
new high performance starter.
INTRODUCTION
This starter can be installed in about
an hour by carefully following the
instructions. It is suggested that the
vehicle be allowed to cool off for a
few hours to avoid burns from hot
parts, especially any exhaust which
might be near the starter. The
vehicle should be off the ground for
ease of installation - jack stands,
wheel ramps or a hoist will work
fine. MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS
FIRMLY SUPPORTED - DO NOT
WORK UNDER A VEHICLE IF IT IS
SUPPORTED BY ONLY A JACK!
Try to raise the vehicle 1-2 feet so
you will have plenty of room to work.
INSTALLATION

removing the negative cable first.
STEP 2. Remove the old starter,
and make sure the mounting flange
is clean and burr free.
STEP 3. Install the starter with the
supplied 3/8”-16 hardware. Leave all
shims out at this time. Torque
mounting bolts to 32 ft-lbs.
STEP 4. With the starter now in

from
heat sources and other
components. The starter can be
clocked in different locations on the
mounting block to obtain the best
