Bert / Brinn Starter
INSTRUCTIONS
The number one reason for failure with this type of starter is damage caused from water contamination! This starter has been
sealed at the factory to resist water under normal racing conditions. If vehicle is pressure washed, remove starter or cover to
prevent water from entering starter. Warranty will be voided if there is evidence of water contamination!
Proper installation of this starter is important! Following these few steps will assure proper installation and extend
the life of the starter.
MOUNTING STARTER- Make sure the mounting surface of the bell housing is smooth, at and free of paint, a good en-
gine ground is critical to the performance of the starting system. Torque starter mounting bolts to engine to 32 ft. lbs.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - The battery cables are very important and must be the proper size for the length of the
cable (see chart). A good engine ground is critical to the performance of the starting and system. It is recommend to
secure the battery ground cable directly to the engine and install a ground wire from the engine to the chassis. Do not
depend on engine mounts to ground engine to the chassis as many mounts are painted or coated and do not provide
sucient ground connections.
CAUTION! NEVER OPERATE A STARTER MORE THAN 30 SECONDS AT
A TIME WITHOUT ALLOWING TIME TO COOL (AT LEAST TWO MINUTES).
OVERHEATING WILL DAMAGE THE STARTER!

Tech Tips:
Initial Installation • Always disconnect negative battery terminal rst, positive terminal last. When
installing cables, install the positive cable rst then install the ground cable last.
Following this procedure, prevents accidentally shorting out the positive battery
connection to a ground source such as the body or chassis.
• Make sure battery is fully charged to avoid damaging new starter.
• To ensure a good electrical connection, make sure terminal connections and the
starter mounting surface are clean and free of any paint, coatings, oil, grease or dirt.
• Install starter rst by hand threading mounting bolts until starter is in a properly
aligned position, and then torque all fasteners.
