STARTER SERVICE To Check Starter 1. Lift the Bobcat on safe blocks. Keep the ignition switch in the off position. Be sure the battery has full charge and the connections are clean & tight. 2. Turn the ignition switch to engage the starter . If the starter turns but does not engage check if the battery is installed with correct polarity or replace the starter drive. If the starter does not turn, do this. 3. Connect a jumper wire to by–pass the starter switch. If the starter now turns, the defect is in the starter switch. If the starter does not turn, do this. 4. Connect a jumper cable to by–pass the starter solenoid. If the starter now turns the defect is in the starter solenoid. 5. When the starter turns slowly the problem may be worn brushes.
