Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

The most common symptom of a failing magnetic switch is a single loud click when the ignition key is turned, with no further engine cranking. Intermittently, it may fail to engage at all, or the starter motor may disengage prematurely. Continued failure to start the engine will prevent any operation.

Installation Tip

Always disconnect the battery before working on the starting system to prevent electrical shorts. Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened securely to maintain a good electrical ground connection.

Service Note

When replacing the magnetic switch, inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and test the battery's voltage and load capacity.
