Remove the brush holding wire after the rotor has
been installed.
INSPECTION M1161001700152
ROTOR
1. Measure the resistance between the two slip rings
of the rotor coil to check the continuity between
them.
Replace the rotor if the resistance is not within the
standard value range.
Standard value: 3 − 5 Ω
2. Check the continuity between the slip rings and
core.
3. If continuity is present, replace the rotor.
STATOR
1. Check the continuity between coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
2. Check the continuity between coil and core.
If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
RECTIFIER ASSEBMLY
1. Check the condition of the (+) heat sink by
checking continuity between the (+) heat sink and
each of the stator coil lead connecting terminals.
If continuity is present for both terminals, the
diode is shorted. Replace the rectifier assembly.
