The gear drive is located in front of the drive housing. When, when the starter is turned on, voltage is supplied to it from the battery, the traction turn located on the starter housing, through the drive enable lever, pushes the gear along the screw slots on the armature shaft to the flywheel ring gear. As soon as the gear reaches a stop on the end of the armature shaft, it engages with the flywheel ring gear. In this case, the traction turnip turns on the electric circuit of the starter, and now it can crank the engine crankshaft to the starting speed. As soon as the engine starts, the flywheel ring will begin to rotate the gear faster than the starter shaft rotates, and, having disengaged from the flywheel ring, it will move to its original position along the screw pins of the shaft.
A large current is required to start the motor, therefore, as part of maintenance, it is necessary to ensure that the wire connections are in perfect condition. Rusty connections should be cleaned and treated with protective lubricant for the poles.
Attention: The starter, depending on the type, is a unit that can be exchanged. This means that a defective starter may be accepted by the manufacturer as part of the payment when purchasing a refurbished or new starter. Therefore, when buying, you need to have a defective starter with you.
