8.7.3 Function of starter (planetary gear
reduction type)
The starter uses electric power from the battery to start
the engine.
Start flow
1. When the
key switch is rotated to the start position,
current flows from the battery to the starter.
2. Upon receiving current, the starter motor rotates
and a pinion gear engages and starts to rotate.
3. The pinion gear that engages meshes with the ring
gear (flywheel) and causes the flywheel to rotate.
4. The crankshaft that is connected to the flywheel
rotates, initial combustion occurs in the engine and
the engine starts.
