Pinion Gap Adjustment
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-
terminal. (6EL050)
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 bourning.
4. Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge. (6EL003)
If pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or
removing washers between magnetic switch and front
bracket.

5. Lightly push back the pinion, and measure the amount
of travel, which represents the pinion gap. Adjust the
thickness (number) of washers at switch area so that the
gzip becomes 0.5 to 2.0 mm (-020 to .079 in.).
