Operation
1. If the starter is fitted on a tractor or mechanical handling vehicle, such as a fork lift truck or
a loader, ensure that the gearbox is in the neutral position.
2. Ensure that the fuel is turned OFF.
3. Using the winding handle, rotate the winding adaptor until the WHITE spring is visible in
the window. Move the trip lever to the trip position.
4. The engine will rotate but not start. This will ensure that the starter is operating normally.
5. Check the fuel valve is in the 'ON' position and that fuel is reaching the fuel pump.
6. Adjust the throttle to between 1/2 and 3/4 open.
7. The trip lever (with the knob), of the starter, must be in an upright position. If this is not
the case, pull the reset knob (black). The trip lever will immediately spring to its upright
position.
8. When starting an engine fitted with an in-line pump for the first time, it may be necessary
to press the excess fuel button on the pump.
9. Fit the Cranking handle and wind the handle in a clockwise direction until RED springs are
visible through the inspection windows (See Appendix II for number of turns). With the
RED spring visible the starter is ready to start the engine.
10. To start your engine, push the trip lever down through 90°.
11. If the engine does not start repeat the above steps. Your engine will normally start within
three attempts.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to start the engine with an electric or other starter while the IPU
Starter is wound and engaged.
