Pinion Gap Adjustment

Fig. 5 Testing Magnetic Switch:

1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.
3. Set switch to "ON", and pinion will move out.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.

Pinion Gap Adjustment:

4. Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge.
Standard Value: 0.5 - 2.0 mm (0.020 - 0.079 in.)

Pinion Gap Adjustment:

5. If pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing gaskets between magnetic switch and front bracket.
