Plunger
Inspect plunger for wear. Replace if necessary.
Magnetic Switch
Push in plunger and release it. The plunger should
return quickly to its original position. Replace if
necessary.
Pull-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across magnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and “M” terminal (2). If no continuity, coil is open and
should be replaced.Hold-in coil open circuit test
Check for continuity across magnetic switch “S” terminal
(1) and coil case. If no continuity, coil is open and should
be replaced.
Rear Bracket Bush
Inspect bush for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Brush
• Check brushes for wear.
Measure length of brushes and if below the limit,
replace the brush.
Brush length
Standard: 12.3 mm (0.48 in.)
Limit: 7.0 mm (0.28 in.)
• Install brushes to each brush holder and check for

Spring
Inspect brush springs for wear, damage or other
abnormal conditions. Replace if necessary.
Brush spring tension
Standard: 2.2 kg (4.85 lb)
Limit: 0.6 kg (1.33 lb)
Brush Holder
• Check movement of brush in brush holder. If brush
movement within brush holder is sluggish, check
brush holder for distortion and sliding faces for
contamination.
Clean or correct as necessary.
• Check for continuity across insulated brush (positive
side) and grounded brush (negative side).
If continuity exists, brush holder is grounded due to
defective insulation and should be replaced.
Armature
• Inspect commutator for dirt or burn. Correct with
sandpaper or lathe, if necessary.• Check commutator for uneven wear with armature (1)
supported on V-blocks (2). If deflection of dial gauge
(4) pointer exceeds limit, repair or replace.
NOTE
The following specification presupposes that
the armature is free from bend. Bent
armature must be replaced.

Commutator out of round
Standard: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) or less
Limit: 0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
• Inspect the commutator for wear. If diameter is below
limit, replace the armature.
Commutator outside diameter
Standard: 29.4 mm (1.16 in.)
Limit: 28.8 mm (1.14 in.)

• Inspect the commutator (1) for insulator (2) depth.
Correct or replace if below limit.
Commutator insulator depth “a”
Standard: 0.4 – 0.6 mm (0.016 – 0.023 in.)
Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)
• Check the commutator and armature core. If there is
continuity, the armature is grounded and must be
replaced.
• Check for continuity between segments. If there is no
continuity at any test point, there is an open circuit
and the armature must be replaced.Gears
Inspect the internal gear and the planetary gears for
wear, damage or other abnormal conditions. Replace if
necessary.
Pinion and Over-Running Clutch
• Inspect the pinion for wear, damage or other abnormal
conditions.
Check that clutch locks up when turned in direction of
drive and rotates smoothly in reverse direction.
Replace if necessary.
• Inspect the spline teeth for wear or damage. Replace
if necessary.
Inspect the pinion for smooth movement.

General Description
Battery DescriptionS6RW0D1A01001
The battery has three major functions in the electrical
system.
• It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the
engine.
• It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
• It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the
electrical load exceeds the output of the generator.
Carrier and Hold-Down
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it
will support the battery securely and keep it level. Before
installing the battery, the battery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and
make certain there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the
hold-down bolts should be tight enough but not over-
tightened.
Electrolyte Freezing
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific
gravity. Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be
protected against freezing by keeping it in a fully
charged condition. If a battery is frozen accidentally, it
should not be charged until it is warmed.
Sulfation
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in
discharged condition, the lead sulfate becomes
converted into a hard, crystalline substance, which will
not easily turn back to the active material again during
the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means the result
as well as the process of that reaction. Such a battery
can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than
before.Built-In Indicator (If Equipped)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated
indicator in the top of the battery. This indicator is to be
used with the following diagnostic procedure. When
checking the indicator, make sure that the battery has a
clean top. A light may be needed in some poorly-lit
areas.
Three types of indication available under normal
operation are as follows.
•Green dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
•Dark
Battery must be charged before testing. If there is a
cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in “Battery Inspection”. Charging and
electrical systems should also be checked at this time.
•Clear or light yellow
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of
hydrometer. Its possible cause is excessive or
prolonged charging, a broken case, excessive tipping
or normal battery deterioration. When the battery is
found in such condition, it is possible that high
charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems
need to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking
and its cause lies in the battery, it should be replaced.

Care of battery
WARNING!
• Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark because of battery generate gas which is
flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surfaces as fluid is a corrosive
acid. Flush any contacted area with water immediately and thoroughly.
• Batteries should always be kept out of reach of children.

1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodical attentions.
• Keep the battery carrier clean.
• Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
• Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all cells.
• When keeping battery on vehicle over a long period of time, follow instructions given below.
– Weekly, start the engine and run it until it reaches normal operating temperature with engine speed of 2000 to
3000 rpm. Make sure all electric switches are off before storing the vehicle.
– Recharge the battery twice a month to prevent it from discharging excessively. This is especially important
when ambient temperature is low.
The battery discharges even when it is not used, while vehicles are being stored. Battery electrolyte can
freeze and battery case can crack at cold ambient condition if battery is not properly charged.
2) Keep the battery cable connections clean.
The cable connections, particularly at the positive (+) terminal post, tend to become corroded. The product of
corrosion, or rust, on the mating faces of conductors resists the flow of current.
Clean the terminals and fittings periodically to ensure good metal-to-metal contact, and grease the connections
after each cleaning to protect them against rusting.
3) Be always in the know as to the state of charge of the battery. The simplest way to tell the state of charge is to
carry out a hydrometer test. The hydrometer is an instrument for measuring the specific gravity (S.G.) of the
battery electrolyte. The S.G. of the electrolyte is indicative of the state of charge. Refer to “Battery Inspection”.
