STARTER
WARNING
Accidental or remote starting can
cause severe personal injury or death. Before
removing a panel or access door, disconnect
the negative (â) cable at the battery to prevent
the engine from starting.
Starter Removal and Replacement
The starter motor (Figure 6-9) is accessible for re-
moval and installation by removing the right side en-
closure panel (Page 5-1). Alternatively, it can be re-
moved and installed through the front access open-
ing if the raw water pump is removed (Page 4-10)
and the fuel filter bracket is unbolted from the drip
pan and moved out of the way (Figure 6-5). Parts
are available for rebuilding the starter. Torque the
mounting bolts to 29 lb-ft (39 N-m). Make sure start-
er B+ is connected to genset B+.
Negative (Ground) Connection
Before installing the starter motor, make sure that
the engine block is grounded properly, depending
on whether standard or isolated ground connec-
tions are required (Figure 6-9). The star washer
must be installed between the engine block and
cables. Torque the bolt to 41 lb-ft (55 N-m).
Ground Isolation Relay K9
The relay is accessible after the starter or side panel
has been removed. Replace the relay if its contacts
do not close when 12 VDC is applied to the coil.
