Manual starters are devices operated manually 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.

• Safe and economical operation
• Compact size suitable for diverse applications
• 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 transmits power from the vehicle's battery to the starter motor, which activates the starter drive (Bendix gear system) to engage the flywheel.

The starter motor cranks the engine to initiate combustion in petrol and diesel vehicles. Once the engine is running, the connection between starter motor and flywheel disengages as the engine no longer requires the electrical spark.
