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 STARTING MOTORS.
FAILURE TO USE PROPER EYE PROTECTION CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS AND PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
Only perform the mechanical functions that you are properly qualified to perform. A professional installation specialist should handle
mechanical repairs that are beyond your technical capabilities.
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 A ND/OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY WHEN REMOVING AND
INSTALLING THE STARTERS.
The Magnetic Switch (Relay) contained in this package may differ in appearance from the switch (relay) formerly used. With
the proper modification, however, this switch which is of equal or better quality will function satisfactorily on applications
formerly using a different appearing switch. There are four different conditions where this magnetic switch (relay) can be us ed to
replace another switch. Determine which condition fits your needs. Then refer to the section that applies and proceed as directed.
SECTION A: When used as a direct replacement (Note the number of terminals present on the switch (relay) that is to be
replaced).
If switch (relay) has four terminals:
1. Install the replacement switch (relay) on the vehicle without modification.
If original switch (relay) has three terminals, a modification is required.
1. Install the replacement switch (relay) and the ground lead, provided in this package, on the vehicle. The ground lead should be
connected between one of the small switch terminals and one of the mounting bracket hold-down bolts which must have a good
electrical ground. The remaining three switch terminals are then connected as they were on the original three-terminal switch
hook-up.
SECTION B: To provide automatic disengagement and lockout (ADLO) protection.
If switch (relay) is used in conjunction with a D.C. Generator or an Alternator :
1. Make connections to the magnetic switch (relay) as shown in Figure 1. Do not use the small ground lead.
SECTION C: When replacing a starter having a frame-mounted
magnetic switch (relay) with a starter and a separately
mounted magnetic switch (relay):
1. Mount the switch (relay) away from exhaust manifolds, but
as close to the starter as possible. Use suitable bolts, nuts and
lock washers for mounting.
2. Insure that the switch (relay) base is well grounded. If the
switch (relay) has two small terminals, one small terminal must
also be grounded. See Figure 2.
3. Connect the original lead from the start switch to the small
terminal on the magnetic Switch (relay). If the lead will not
reach, use new stranded wire of the same size or larger than
the original lead. Securely crimp and solder all terminals.
4. Connect the heavy battery cable to one of the large switch
terminals as in the original installation. If new cable is
required, use stranded cable of the same size as or larger
than the original cable. Securely crimp and solder all terminals.
5. Mount the starter and make a new cable for connecting the other larger switch terminal to the motor terminal. Use
stranded cable of comparable size as the other heavy cable. Crimp and solder all terminals.
6. If there is interference with the motor terminal, the f rame can be rotated 1800 by removing the two thru bolts, rotat ing the
frame and retightening the thru bolts.
