Figure 6. Typical Wiring Diagram for Testing
Install the starter torque tester as follows:
Starters
a. Mount starter torque tester on a heavy bench or
other firm structure using four mounting bolts.
b. Mount tachometer to bench or a suitable stand
to prevent damage during operation of tester.
c. Connect power source wires to an external
adjustable dc power supply, varying from 6 to 30 volts
and capable of supplying 300 amperes continuously.
d. Connect flexible drive shaft (18, fig. 5) from
tachometer to starter torque tester at tachometer drive
assembly (19).
e. Ground starter torque tester to negative side of
external power source.
