Manual starters are devices operated manually, designed for simple operation without requiring expert intervention. These starters feature a button or rotary knob that enables users to turn connected equipment on or off through mechanical linkages that open or close contacts.

Important Safety Note: Manual starters do not break control circuits during power loss, meaning motors could restart automatically when power is restored. This requires careful consideration in safety-critical applications.

• Safe and economical operation
• Compact size suitable for diverse applications
• Built-in overload protection for motor safety
• Available with various enclosure options
• Cost-effective initial investment

When the engine is activated (via stop/start button or ignition key), an electrical signal is sent to the starter solenoid. This component transfers power from the battery to the starter motor, activating both the motor and the starter drive (Bendix gear system).

The starter motor engages the vehicle's flywheel, cranking the engine to initiate combustion in petrol and diesel engines. Once the engine is running independently, the starter mechanism disengages from the flywheel as the electrical spark is no longer required.
