the ammeter reading with specifications. A high
r e a d i n g indicates a shorted or grounded hold-in
winding, and a low reading excessive resistance.
To check the pull-in winding connect from the sole-
noid switch terminal (S) to the solenoid motor (M or
MOT) terminal.
NOTE: If needed to reduce the voltage to the
specified value, connect the carbon pile between
the battery and the "M" terminal as shown in dash-
ed red instead of across the battery as shown in
solid red lines. If the carbon pile is not needed,
connect a jumper directly from the battery to the

REASSEMBLY
The reassembly procedure for each type of motor
is the reverse of disassembly.
To reassemble the end frame havingeight brushes
onto the field frame. pull the armature out of the
field frame just far enough to permit the brushes to
be placed over the commutator. Then push the com-
mutator end frame and the armature back against
the field frame.
LUBRICATION
All wicks and oil reservoirs should be saturated
with SAE No. 10 oil, and the splines underneath the
clutch should be lubricated with a light coat of SAE
No. 10 oil. (Heavier oil may cause failure to mesh at
low temperatures.) Lever housings having a bearing
and seal should have the grease cavity between the
bearing and seal filled with Delco-Remy Lubricant
