StrongStarter Installation Procedure
CAUTION: Do not attempt to wind and trip the starter unless it is fitted on an
engine. The unit will break if it is held in a vice, energised and released. The
warranty will be negated.
StrongStarter Spring Starters are easy to install and operate. No special skills or tools are required. You
should, however, read the following step by step instructions before fitting or operating the starter.

StrongStarter Spring Starters are easy to install and operate. No special skills or tools are required. You
should, however, read the following step by step instructions before fitting or operating the starter.
Replacing the Original Electrical Starter:
a) Remove the existing electric, pneumatic or hydraulic starting device, ensuring that you retain any spacers
already present, unless the starter model that you have already has a spacer included with it.
b) Make sure that while removing the old starter you do not disconnect the fuel shut-off valve. On some
applications there may be an electrical engine shut-off valve. This can either be operated by direct supply
from the battery or converted to manual shut-off.
Size and mounting differences:
You may find when replacing your current starter with the spring starter that there is a difference between the
number of teeth on the two pinions. This is a design feature adapted to make a larger body diameter spring
starter replace a smaller diameter electric starter. This is achieved by off-setting the spigot and mounting
holes of the starter from its center line and increasing the number of teeth to compensate for this.
Completion and Final Checks:
a) To complete the installation tighten the nuts or bolts (whichever is appropriate for your application) to the
torque recommended by the engine manufacturer.
b) The starter is assembled so that in the majority of applications the winding handle is in a position suitable
for you to wind the starter comfortably. If this is not the case the angle of the winding handle position can be
changed to suit your needs. See Position Code Procedure.
c) Always test the starter operation in a safe location to make sure it functions as expected before deploying
it in a hazardous or remote location. Please contact your local agent or mail@strongstarter.com in case of
any problems with safe and reliable operation.
Rotation:
Make sure that the starter rotation matches the
requirements of the engine
Engine Space:
Check that you have sufficient room on the engine
crank case to fit the starter.
Clearance between pinion face and the flywheel
ring gear:
The StrongStarter Spring Starter is designed so that
when installed on the engine, in the unwound position,
there is between 3 and 5 mm clearance between the
pinion face and the flywheel ring gear.
Measure the mounting face to pinion face dimension
'X', and the mounting face to ring gear depth 'Y'. The
distance Y-X should be between 3 and 5 mm. (See
Fig 2)
