3. Screw the adapter on the positive terminal of the starter.
4. Connect the power cable B- with the unit body, and bench control connector 50 - with the
control output of the starter solenoid. The terminal of the power cable B+ shall be positioned so
there was no contact with the bench - to avoid short circuit.
5. Press Alternator & starter tester to turn on starter diagnostics mode, press button 12V/24V to
choose the required voltage referring to the specifications of the diagnosed unit.
6. Press START. The gear of starter freewheel clutch shall move fully forward. Release START - to
reset. Repeat the procedure several times.
7. Connect the power cable B+ with the adapter at the starter positive terminal.
8. Press and hold START. The starter motor shall start running. The current consumption value
AMP, DC shall conform with the nameplate data of starter as well as the alternating current value
AMP, AC in the circuit B+ shall not exceed 10% of the current consumption value AMP, DC.
9. Once the starter diagnostics is finished, release START button, then press Alternator & starter
tester button. Now the starter can be dismounted from the bench.
10. Failure to comply with the one of the paragraphs 6 and 8 indicates the starter defects.
7. TEST BENCH MAINTENANCE
The bench is designed for a long operation life. However, to prolong the period of the trouble-
free operation of the bench, it should be inspected on a regular basis, and the preventive
maintenance described below should be carried out with the recommended intervals. The
inspection and the preventive maintenance shall be carried out by the qualified specialists.
The preventive maintenance that shall be carried out daily is as follows:
• Motor operation inspection (uncommon noises, vibration etc.).
• Inspection of bench operation environment (temperature, humidity etc.).
• Control of the voltage specification limits.
Once a month check the technical condition of battery, the level of electrolyte and battery charge.
The battery charge level shall be so high that the battery voltage (without load) was not lower
than 12.5V (at the temperature 25 °С it corresponds to 75% charge level). If the battery has to be
charged, mount the operative 12V alternator on the bench and start the mode of its diagnostics
without the load for about 10-15 minutes.
