8.9 Engine Starting Problems
8.9.1 Lifting solenoid for motor stop - optional
There are two different versions of lifting solenoids:
A. Energized to stop
The lifting solenoid is furnished with voltage and pulled by pushing the „OFF“-button on the remote control panel. By
doing that, the injection pump is set on zero lift and the generator stops.
B. Energized to run
This version is equipped with two solenoids, an operation- and a holding solenoid. After applying voltage, the
operation solenoid pulls the adjusting lever of the injection pump, which gives way to the fuel. After reaching its end
position, the operation magnet is switched off and the holding solenoid keeps that position as long as the generator
is operating.
ATTENTION! The „START“-button should not be pressed any longer
than 5 sec. during the starting process, or the lifting
solenoid draws too much current over the starter motor.
Otherwise the lifting solenoid needs to be disconnected.

Sample Picture
Damage to starter motor
The starter is fitted with a free wheel or axial rotating spring cog, which prevents the starter being driven externally
by means of the motor. The free wheel will be heavily worn, if the starter still operates, thereby causing damage to
the springs, roller bearings or cog teeth. This could lead to complete destruction of the starter.
It is important that every person who operates the generator is informed of this situation. This is practically
the only handling error that can be made on board that can lead to fatal consequences for both generator
and operator.
