Manual starters are simple, user-friendly devices operated manually without requiring expert intervention. They feature a button or rotary knob that controls mechanical linkages to open or close contacts, starting or stopping the motor.

• Safe and economical operation
• Compact size suitable for diverse applications
• Overload protection for motor safety
• Available in various enclosure options

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, engaging the starter drive (Bendix gear system) which connects with the vehicle's flywheel.

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 as the engine no longer requires the electrical spark.
