Trim Pump Motor Test
WARNING
Do not perform this test near flammables (or ex-
plosives), as a spark may occur when making
connections.
1. Disconnect green (motor) wire and blue (motor)
wire from trim system wiring harness.
2. Connect a 12 volt power supply to motor wires
(positive to blue; negative to green results in mo-
tor up direction. Positive to green; negative to
blue results in motor down direction). Motor
should run.
3. If motor does not run, disassemble motor and
check components.
Armature Tests
TEST FOR SHORTS
Check armature on a Growler (follow Growler man-
ufacturer’s test instructions). Indication of a short re-
quires replacement of armature.
TEST FOR GROUND
Use an Ohmmeter (R x 1 scale). Place one lead on
Ohmmeter on armature shaft and other lead on com-
mutator, as shown. If continuity is indicated, armature
is grounded and must be replaced.
