Manual starters are simple, user-operated devices that control motor operation through a button or rotary knob. These starters use mechanical linkages to open or close contacts, starting or stopping the motor. Unlike automatic starters, they don't break the control circuit during power loss, which means motors may restart automatically when power returns.

• Safe and economical operation
• Compact design for versatile applications
• Built-in overload protection for motor safety
• Wide selection of enclosure options
• Cost-effective initial investment

When the engine is activated (via stop/start button or traditional key), an electrical signal is sent to the starter solenoid. This component transfers power from the battery to the starter motor, which engages the vehicle's flywheel through a gear system (starter drive or Bendix). The starter motor cranks the engine to initiate combustion in petrol and diesel vehicles. Once the engine is running, the mechanism disengages the starter motor from the gear and flywheel.
