Case Compact Tractor 2310

To perform the cranking voltage check

NOTE On Spark Ignition engines remove the center coil wire to prevent engine from starting

1. Connect a volt meter (12 volt) between the positive and negative terminals of the battery, Figure F-5, Crank the engine for 15 seconds and record voltage.

2.Connect voltmeter (12 volt) between the starter generator"A" terminal and ground on starter generator frame, Figure F-5.

Crank the engine and record voltage. If voltage is not the same or varies more than .5 volt, check the battery cables, clean and tighten connections.;

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Abrasive type cleaning machine available?

If machine is not available, report the issue to the maintenance team and stop the procedure

Electrode sparking areas filed to obtain bright flat parallel surfaces?

Plug washed in a good cleaning solvent and blown dry with air pressure?

Gap between the electrodes (in inches)

Gap set by bending the ground or outside electrode?

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should a pry bar be used on the starter - generator to obtain belt tension, as damage to the bearings could result.

Is the belt excessively loose or worn?

Is the belt tension correct (can be depressed 1/4\ between the pulleys)?"

Sign off on the belt adjustment

Warning: Ensure the battery is disconnected from the tractor before proceeding

Initial voltage reading from the volt meter

Connect a load equal to 3 times the amp hour rating of the battery

Voltage reading after 15 seconds

Is the voltage reading less than 9.5 volts?

Sign off on the battery bench load test

Correct size socket wrench used for removal?

Copper gasket inspected after removal?

Enter the thickness of the copper gasket

Was the spark plug properly torqued in place to 27 foot pounds?

Was the spark plug gasket compressed enough when the plug was installed?

Was the spark plug gasket compressed too much when the plug was installed?

Enter the gap of the electrodes
