Kineteco Spring Starters

 

 

Spring engine starters use elastic potential energy stored in a series of spring to start engines. These springs are

compressed manually using a handle on the front of the starter, giving the spring elestic potential energy. This energy is then

released and converted into rotation, starting the engine. Spring starters are best suited for smaller engines, due to their low

energy output. Spring starters are also good for "black start" as they are started manually. Available at Strumco Air Starter

The Spring Starter has been in use for over 30 years with over 30,000 mechanical starters in service Worldwide. Spring starters are 100% mechanical starters, and do not require electricity, compressed air or hydraulic pressure. They use energy stored in a high-tech, spring pack that is manually recharged. Spring Starters are equivalent to a 5 hp electric starter.

By installing a Mechanical Starter, the need for batteries, alternators, regulators and wiring is eliminated. If electrical power is required, a simple conversion kit is available to add to an existing alternator or a self exciting alternator can be used.

Spring Starters are used in many industrial, marine and agricultural applications especially in remote and hazardous locations (Llyod’s Register Approved for hazardous locations).Contact Strumco Air Starter at 780.468.0050 for more Information.

Storage / Laying up Instructions for Kineteco Spring Starters

To maintain reliability and to ensure your Kineteco spring starter functions as designed it should be protected from corrosive environments and impact damage when not installed on an engine. The following guidelines should be followed:-

Ensure that the starter is unwound before placing in storage.

  1. Store the starter in a dry location away from water spray and flood risks, preferably in a water tight box, bag or container.
  2. Coat the starter and especially the exposed pinion and shaft in a light grease, waxoyl or similar wax based rust inhibitor. Note: – composite bodied starters only require the metallic parts to be coated.
  3. Ensure that the starter is stored securely avoiding any possibility of it falling on or rolling into any solid object which may cause damage to the operating levers, housings or controls.
  4. Keep operating handle and instructions with starter.
  5. If a crank wound starter is flooded with water, remove plastic cap opposite winding handle and drain thoroughly, the starter should then be immersed in light oil for at least 2 hours. Drain the oil, replace the cap and operate the starter on an engine a number of times to disperse any remaining oil or water and to ensure the starter still functions. Re-coat with wax / grease. Cord wound starters should be left to dry thoroughly and the metal parts treated with a light oil and then operated a number of times to disperse any remaining liquid in the starter
