Manual starters are simple, user-operated devices that control equipment activation through a button or rotary knob. These starters use mechanical linkages to open or close contacts, starting or stopping the motor. Note that manual starters don't break control circuits during power loss, which may cause automatic restart when power returns.

• Safe and economical operation

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, which engages the starter drive (Bendix gear) with the vehicle's flywheel. The motor turns, cranking the engine to initiate combustion. Once the engine runs independently, the starter disengages automatically.
