No-Load Test

CAUTION:
  • Use a thick cable due to large current flowing through the cable.
    1. For B terminal and ground, it is recommended that the cross-section area of continuity part (shaded part) should be 20 mm2 (0.00310 sq in) or more. For S terminal, 1.25 mm2 (0.00194 sq in) or more.

      (b) Cable shield part
      (c) Cable continuity part
    2. It is possible to use a booster cable instead of wiring.
  • Be careful not to burn yourself and cause a fire due to heat.
  • Perform the no-load test in a short period of time. (Within 3 to 5 seconds)
NOTE: For no-load test, use the circuit shown in figure.

  1. Using a vise, secure the starter.
    CAUTION: Be careful not to deform or damage the starter.
  2. Turn the switch ON, and check that the pinion protrudes rapidly into the specified position and rotates powerfully without noise.
  3. Check the current and voltage after its rotation speed stabilizes.
