3.1 Ngwa achọrọ

  • Socket spana set
  • Ntọala mgbanaka mepere emepe
  • Battery terminal cleaner
  • ahịhịa waya
  • Wrench Torque (atụ aro)

3.2 Removal of Old Starter Motor

  1. Kwadebe ụgbọ ala: Ensure the excavator is turned off, the parking brake is engaged, and the battery's negative terminal is disconnected.
  2. Locate the Starter Motor: Identify the starter motor, typically mounted on the engine block near the flywheel.
  3. Kwụpụ waya: Carefully disconnect the main battery cable and the solenoid wire(s) from the starter motor. Note their positions for reinstallation.
  4. Wepu ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ: Loosen and remove the mounting bolts that secure the starter motor to the engine block. Support the starter motor as bolts are removed to prevent it from falling.
  5. Wepu Old Starter: Carefully maneuver and remove the old starter motor from its mounting position.
