Starter 5 illustrations ~469 words

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The starting system on the vehicle comprises a 12-volt starter motor which drives the engine to start the combustion process. The starter converts electrical energy into mechanical power. The vehicle electrical system must be capable of supplying sufficient power to enable the engine to be cranked.

Disconnect/Connect

CAUTIONTo prevent damage to electrical components, always disconnect the battery when working on the vehicle's electrical system. The ground lead must be disconnected first and reconnected last.
WARNINGAlways ensure that the battery leads are routed correctly and are not close to any potential chafing points.

Before disconnecting the battery, disable the alarm system and switch off all electrical equipment. If the radio is to be serviced, ensure the security code has been deactivated. Disconnect negative battery cable first. Before connecting apply petroleum jelly to terminal. Connect negative battery cable last.
