Starter
Starts the engine
To make an engine start it must be turned at some speed, so that it sucks fuel and air into the cylinders, and compresses it. The powerful electric starter motor does the turning. Its shaft carries a small pinion which engages with a large gear ring around the rim of the engine flywheel.

Technologies
#1
The fixation of the starter is key to the system performances. The alignment of the starter pinion drive vs the engine flywheel is mandatory. The NEG 12V pole is the body of the machine, it must be strongly screwed to the engine.
Do’s
- Use the appropriate torque for bolting the machine on the engine
- to avoid vibration during the rotation
- to ensure a proper Negative Electrical connection
- Always use the appropriate part number
- Never proceed to adaptation of the fixation
#2
The starter power performances strongly depend on the quality of the electrical connections
Do’s
- Check & clean the charging harness contacts prior to fit a new machine
- Use the original screws & washers
- Use the appropriate torque to ensure a low contact resistance between the machine and the harness
In case of defective harness (corrosion, crimping issue…) it is strongly recommended to change the complete harness to a new one
#3
The type of battery is linked to the technologies and evolution of the car architecture
Do’s
- Always respect the type of battery : AGM, EFB, Silver calcium
- Validate the battery type with a diagnostic tool or the with the car dashboard.
