Pic. 7.61. Assembly diagram of an unloaded circuit for testing a starter in idle mode
Assemble the unloaded test circuit as shown in Figure 7.61.
Adjust the battery voltage with a rheostat so that the voltmeter shows a value of 11.5 V. Make sure that the maximum current consumption corresponds to the nominal value, and also that the starter armature rotates freely, without jerking or jamming.
Rated current: 60A or less.
