Lister ST2 engines (UP TO 1988)
To hand start Lister ST2 engines:
Ensure the parking brake is in the raised
“ON” position.
Ensure gear lever is in the neutral
position.
Move the decompressor lever over
towards the flywheel (F).
Pull the control lever outwards and allow it
to rotate anticlockwise so that it abuts
against the top stop and is in a vertical
position (G).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the starting
handle is of the correct type and is fully
servicable. Lightly oil the end of the
starting shaft and the starting handle.
Check the arrow on the handle for correct
rotation, then turn the handle in the
opposite direction to that required to start
engine. This is done in order to check that
the clutch pin will disengage from the
keyway, and does not bind on the starting
shaft.
ENSURE THERE ARE NO BURRS ON
THE SHAFT.
IMPORTANT: With the starting handle,
turn the engine slowly from 3 to 20 turns
according to the temperature and period
of standing unused, in order to prime the
combustion chamber and the lubricating
oil system.
Turning the starting handle in the correct
rotation, crank the engine really fast and
when maximum cranking speed is
reached move the decompressor lever
away from the flywheel (H). Retain a firm
grip on the starting handle and continue to
crank until the engine fires. Remove the
starting handle from the shaft.
WARNING It is dangerous to allow the
handle to rotate on the
running shaft.
IMPORTANT: As soon as the engine
reaches normal speed, turn the control
lever clockwise to the horizontal position
so that it abuts the horizontal stop (J).
