Disconnect the ground cable (–) first and then the positive (+). When completed with the service, first connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the battery then the negative (–) cable to the negative terminal.

Edges of Parts
Lift large or heavy parts wearing gloves to prevent injury from possible sharp edges on the parts.

Solvent
Use a high flash-point solvent when cleaning parts. High flash-point solvent should be used according to directions of the solvent manufacturer.

Armature Inspection
Using the × 1 Ω hand tester range, measure the resistance
between any two commutator segments [A].
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
If there is a high resistance or no reading (∞) between any
two segments, a winding is open and the starter motor
must be replaced.
