Magnetic Switch Return Test

Magnetic Switch Return Test:




1. Disconnect the wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12V battery between the M-terminal and the body.


CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.


3. Pull the pinion out and release. If the pinion quickly returns to its original position, everything is operating properly. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.


CAUTION: Be careful not to pinch your finger when drawing out the pinion.
