NOTE: Do not crank engine continuously for more than
10 seconds. Allow a 60 second cool down period
between starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out starter motor.
NOTE: If engine develops sufcient speed to disengage
starter but does not keep running (a false start),
engine rotation must be allowed to come to a
complete stop before attempting to restart
engine. If starter is engaged while ywheel is
rotating, starter pinion and ywheel ring gear
may clash and damage starter.
NOTE: If starter does not crank engine, shut off starter
immediately. Do not make further attempts to
start engine until condition is corrected.
NOTE: Do not drop starter or strike starter frame. Doing
so can damage starter.
Engines in this series use inertia drive electric starters or
retractable starters. Inertia drive electric starters are not
serviceable.
XT electric starters use brake switch for an interlock
(on ground). When bail is held down, switch in brake
assembly completes circuit of ground for starter. If there
is a no crank situation, cause could be brake assembly,
battery, key switch, wiring harness, fuse, or starter itself.
