brush holder, and then fix them in that position by
passing a [1 mm (0.08 in) dia. length 4 to 5 cm (1.6
to 2.0 in)] wire through the hole shown in the figure.

E: INSPECTION
1. DIODE
CAUTION:
Never use a mega tester (measuring use for
high voltage) or any other similar measure for
this test; otherwise, the diodes may be dam-
aged.
1) Checking positive diode
Check for continuity between the diode lead and
positive side heat sink. The positive diode is in
good condition if resistance is 1 Ω or less only in the
direction from the diode lead to heat sink.
2) Checking negative diode
Check for continuity between the negative side
heat sink and diode lead. The negative diode is in
good condition if resistance is 1 Ω or less only in the
direction from the heat sink to diode lead.
2. ROTOR
1) Slip ring surface
Inspect the slip rings for contamination or any
roughness of the sliding surface. Repair the slip
ring surface using a lathe or sand paper.
2) Slip ring outer diameter
Measure the slip ring outer diameter. If the slip ring
is worn replace rotor assembly.
Slip ring outer diameter:
Standard
22.7 mm (0.894 in)
Limit
22.1 mm (0.870 in)
3) Continuity test
Check the resistance between slip rings using cir-
cuit tester.
If the resistance is not within specification, replace
the rotor assembly.
Specified resistance:
Approx. 1.8 — 2.2
Ω
4) Insulation test
Check the continuity between slip ring and rotor
core or shaft. If resistance is 1 Ω or less, the rotor
coil is grounded, and so replace the rotor assem-
bly.
5) Ball bearing (rear side)
Check the rear ball bearing. Replace if it is noisy or
if the rotor does not turn smoothly.

3. STARTOR
1) Continuity test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between each
end of the lead wires. If resistance is 1 M Ω or
more, the lead wire is broken, and so replace the
stator assembly.
2) Insulation test
Inspect the stator coil for continuity between stator
core and each end of lead wire. If resistance is 1 Ω
or less, the stator coil is grounded, and so replace
the stator assembly.
4. BRUSH
1) Measure the length of each brush. If wear ex-
ceeds the service limit, replace the brush. Each
brush has the service limit mark (A) on it.
Brush length:
Service limit (1)
5.0 mm (0.197 in)
Standard (2)
18.5 mm (0.728 in)
2) Checking brush spring for proper pressure
Using a spring pressure indicator, push the brush
into the brush holder until its tip protrudes 2 mm
(0.08 in). Then measure the pressure of brush
spring. If the pressure is less than 2.2 N (224 g,
7.91 oz), replace the brush spring with a new one.
The new spring must have a pressure of 4.8 to 6.0
N (489 to 612 g, 17.26 to 21.60 oz).
5. BEARING (FRONT SIDE)
Check the front ball bearing. If the resistance is felt
while rotating, or if abnormal noise is heard, re-
place the ball bearing.

A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the positive (+) cable after discon-
necting the ground (−) cable of battery.
2) Remove the flange nuts from battery rods, and
then take off the battery holder.
3) Remove the battery.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
3.4 N
⋅m (0.35 kgf-m, 2.5 ft-lb)
NOTE:
Clean the battery cable terminals, and then apply
grease to retard formation of corrosion.
Connect the positive (+) cable of battery and then
the ground (−) cable of battery.
C: INSPECTION
WARNING:
Electrolyte has toxicity; be careful handling
the fluid.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Es-
pecially at contact with eyes, blush with water
for 15 minutes and get prompt medical atten-
tion.
Batteries produce explosive gasses. 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 the 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 be-
cause a short circuit will be caused.
1. EXTERNAL PARTS:
Check for the existence of dirt or cracks on battery
case, top cover, vent plugs, and terminal posts. 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.
3. SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF ELECTROLYTE:
1) Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte using
a hydrometer and a thermometer.
Specific gravity varies with temperature of electro-
lyte so that it must be corrected at 20°C (68°F) us-
ing the following equation:
S
20 = St+0.0007×(t−20)
S
20: Specific gravity corrected at electrolyte
temperature of 20
°C
St: Measured specific gravity
t: Measured temperature (
°C)
Determine whether or not battery must be
charged, according to corrected specific
gravity.
Standard specific gravity: 1.220 — 1.290 [at
20
°C (68°F)]
2) Measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte
in battery will disclose the state of charge of bat-
tery. The relation between specific gravity and state
of charge is as shown in the figure.
