Useful tips. In order to avoid many starter malfunctions, follow a number of simple rules when operating it:
- when starting the engine, turn on the starter for no more than 10-15 s and again - after 20-30 s. Continuous operation of the starter for a long time may cause overheating. If after three attempts the engine does not start, then check and eliminate malfunctions in the engine power supply system or in the ignition system;
- after starting the engine, immediately turn off the starter, as long-term rotation of the drive gear by the flywheel can damage the starter freewheel;
- it is not allowed to move the car with the help of a starter, as this causes its significant overload and damage.
