b. Starter Cleaning and Drying
1. While the starter is out, wipe away any grease or dirt
that has accumulated around the starter mounting
opening.
2. If reinstalling the starter, clean the exterior of the
starter with an approved solvent. DO NOT submerse
the starter or allow the solvent to contact the starter
bushings.
3. Dry the starter with a clean, lint-free cloth.
c. Starter Periodic Maintenance
A starter requires no routine maintenance beyond the
occasional inspection of the electrical connections, which
must be clean and tight. The starter is not serviceable;
replace a defective starter with a new unit.
d. Starter Installation
1. Position the starter in its mounting opening on the
flywheel housing. Position the ground cable over the
correct starter mounting fastener boss. Secure the
starter with three hex fasteners. Torque hex nuts to
3.4 lb/ft (4,6 Nm) and torque hex-head capscrews to
32 lb/ft (43 Nm).
2. Connect all the wires to the starter solenoid.
3. Connect the positive (+) battery cable to the positive
battery terminal and the negative (-) battery cable to
the negative battery terminal.
10.6.3 Starter Relay
The starter relay (Figs. 10–30 and 10–31) is a non-ser-
viceable part and must be replaced if defective. The
starter relay consists of a movable contact, not unlike a
solenoid, with a fixed coil in a weatherproof case.
