StrongStarter Spring Starters Position Code
For the sake of convenience of rotating the winding handle, it may be necessary to change the position of the
winding adapter of the Starter. The winding handle position relative to the angle of the nosepiece can be
rotated through 360°, in 8.6° steps, to achieve the best winding position. Starters are made to a pre-set
position in the factory based on the requirements of your specific application. If, however, an alternative
position is required, please follow the steps below:
StrongStarter Installation Guide
1. Please refer to the General Arrangement drawing or outline for the
factory built position code.

2. For an alternative position code, decide on the angle between the
release lever and input adapter based on your application (e.g. your
selected angle = 20°).

3. Select the nearest position code from table given below (e.g. 17.1° = 3C).

4. To achieve the selected (3C) position code, align the hole next to the
letter '0' at the front end of the body, against the hole designated '3' on the
front housing. Use the correct through bolt to secure the front mounting
bracket, the housing and the body in this position. (For starter without
separate mounting bracket secure housing assembly to the body).

Note: The six through holes on the front housing are designated by
numbers 1 to 6 clockwise, looking from the rear of the housing (fig.3). The
seven radial tapped holes on the rear housing are designated by letters A
to G clockwise, looking from the rear of the housing (fig.1). On the starter
body, only two of the holes at either end are in line. These are marked with
'O' next to each hole (fig 2)

5. Place the rear housing on the body and align the radial hole 'C' against
the letter '0' on the body. Secure the body and the rear housing in this
position.

6. Fit all the remaining screws to a torque of 6-8 Nm..
