Delco Remy 37MT Hoja De Instrucción

INSTALLING DELCO REMY HEAVY DUTY STARTING MOTORS (37MT, 40MT, 41MT, 42MT & 50MT)
WARNING!!!!ALWAYS USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING ANY MECHANICAL REPAIRS TO A VEHICLE –
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY INSTALLATION AND OR REPAIRS TO THE DELCO REMY
USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Only perform the mechanical functions that you are properly qualified to perform. Mechanical repairs that are beyond your technical
capabilities should be handled by a professional installation specialist.
DANGER!!! ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY GROUND BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING CABLES AT THE STARTER.
FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY.
NOTICE! FOLLOW ENGINE AND/OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY WHEN REMOVING AND
MOUNTING FLANGE HOLES AND BOLTS (Figures 1, 2 & 3, page 2)
 This starter may have either .53" (13.6 mm) or .66" (16.8 mm) diameter mounting flange holes. Both starters can be mounted
with 1/2" or metric equivalent mounting bolts. Hex Head Cap Screws (Grade 5) should be used.
NOTICE! If Hex Head Size is too small, use a hardened washer or special 12-Point Head Cap Screw (Grade 5).

Do not use any lock washers, star washers or soft washers with the starter mounting bolts.

If any shims and/or spacer washers were used with the old starter, between the starter and flywheel housings, they must be
reinstalled in exactly the same location with this starter.
DRIVE HOUSINGS WITH ROTATABLE POSITIONING (Figure 1, page 2)

These starter types are provided with 12 or 24 positions for locating the solenoid, so that many models may be serviced with only a
few. This flexibility permits removing any interference of the solenoid upon installation. Repositioning can be accomplished by
removing the six (6) TORX nose housing bolts, rotating the switch housing and
reassembly. Torque bolts to 17.6-23.0 Nm (13-17 lb ft).
 After rotation of starters using 5/8" mounting bolts, the lever housing boss may interfere with the wrench used for tightening. If this is
a problem, use a special 12-Point Head Cap Screw (Grade 5).

Solenoid must be mounted in an upward position for housing to drain. A few models have solenoids and drains inverted.

A heat resistant shield must be used if the solenoid is within two inches of the exhaust manifold.
INTEGRATED MAGNETIC SWITCH (IMS) REPOSITIONING (Figure 3, page 2)

Remove the two IMS mounting screws and loosen fasteners that attach the IMS leads to the solenoid, if necessary.

Reposition IMS by using a different set of solenoid mounting screws and/or set of bracket holes to obtain clearance.

Reinstall mounting screws and torque all fasteners according to values labeled in figure 3, page 2.
GROUNDING INSULATED STARTING MOTORS (Figures 2 & 3, page 2)
This may be an insulated starter replacing a grounded type starter. Insulated starters have a flexible cable connecting the solenoid
ground terminal to terminal on the commutator end of the starter (labeled Insulated/Ground). An insulated starter must have a cable
connecting this terminal to the battery ground (-) connection for the starter to function. This grounding cable between the starter and
battery should be a copper cable the same size as the positive (+) battery cable being used.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Figures 2 & 3, page 2)

Identify and tag all leads when removing old starter so they can be properly connected on the new starter. Be sure to connect the
cables to correct solenoid terminals, because the terminals may be reversed.

Clean or wire brush all terminals so that bare metal is exposed for good electrical connections.

The connector for starters with optional Over Crank Protection (OCP) is the same for all series of starters.

Tighten all fasteners according to torque values labeled on the illustrations.
RING GEAR

If the ring gear is damaged, it must be replaced to avoid a potential early failure and risk rejection of a warranty claim.
