10.PERFORMANCE TEST
The starter should be submitted to performance
tests whenever it has been overhauled, to assure
its satisfactory performance when installed on the
engine.
Three performance tests, no-load test, load test,
and lock test, are presented here; however, if the
load test and lock test cannot be performed, carry
out at least the no-load test.
For these performance tests, use the circuit shown
in figure.
1) No-load test
With switch on, adjust the variable resistance until
the voltage is 11 V, read the value of ammeter to
measure rotating speed. Compare these values
with the standard.
No-load test (standard):
Voltage/Current
Max. 11 V/90 A or less
Rotating speed
More than 1,720 rpm
2) Load test
Apply the specified braking torque to starter. The
condition is satisfactory if the current draw and ro-
tating speed are within specifications.
Load test (standard):
Voltage/Load
8 V/12.78 N·m (1.30 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
Current/Speed
370 A/850 rpm or more
3) Lock test
With the starter stalled, or not rotating, measure the
torque developed and current draw when the volt-
age is adjusted to standard voltage.
Lock test (standard):
Voltage/Current
3 V/900 A or less

C: INSPECTION
WARNING:
•Electrolyte has toxicity; be careful of han-
dling the fluid.
•Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Es-
pecially at contact with eyes, flush with water
for 15 minutes and get prompt medical atten-
tion.
•Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes away.
•Ventilate when charging or using in enclosed
space.
•For safety, in case an explosion does occur,
wear eye protection or shield your eyes when
working near any battery. Never lean over a bat-
tery.
•Do not let battery fluid contact eyes, skin,
fabrics, or paint-work because battery fluid is
corrosive acid.
•To lessen the risk of sparks, remove rings,
metal watch-bands, and other metal jewelry.
Never allow metal tools to contact the positive
battery terminal and anything connected to it
while you are at the same time in contact with
any other metallic portion of the vehicle. This
may cause short circuit.
1. EXTERNAL PARTS
Check the battery case, top cover, vent plugs, and
terminal posts for dirt or cracks. If necessary, clean
with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
Apply a thin coat of grease on the terminal posts to
prevent corrosion.
2. ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level
is below MIN level, bring the level to MAX level by
pouring distilled water into the battery cell. Do not
fill beyond MAX level.
