Inspection

Fig. 1 Armature draw test:





1. Rotate compressor pulley by hand and check for excess bearing play and drag. Replace pulley as required.
2. Apply 8 volts to the field coil and check that the armature is drawn by the rotor pulley, Fig. 1.



Fig. 2 Checking armature to rotor clearance:





3. Measure clearance between pulley and armature as shown in Fig. 2. If the clearance is not between .013-.026 inch, the armature should be removed and correct number of shims should be installed.
