Trouble-Shooting
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery IS fully charged A 30-Volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test The alternator can

- Stator Check
To test the stator or diode, you must separate
them
by unsoldering the connecting wires.
CAUTION.

Reasi
Carefully observe the following instructions
1 When soldering each stator coil lead wire to
diode assembly terminal, carry out the opera-
tion
as fast as possible
2 When soldering brush lead wire, observe the
following
Position brush so that its wear limit line
protrudes 2 mm (0 08 in) beyond end face
of brush holder
Solder points

3 Fit ring into groove in rear bearing so that it is
as close to the adjacent area as possible.

4 Before installing front cover with pulley and
rotor with
rear cover, push brush up with
fingers and retain brush, by inserting brush
lift
into brush lift hole from outside
After installing, remove wire for brush

5 After installing front and rear sides of alter-
nator, pull brush lift by pushing toward center
Do not pull brush lift by pushing toward outside
of cover as it will damage slip ring sliding surface.
