6. Torolàlana miasa
The starter motor is an integral part of your engine's starting system. When the ignition key is turned to the 'start' position, electrical current flows to the starter solenoid. The solenoid engages the starter motor's pinion gear with the engine's flywheel and simultaneously sends power to the starter motor. The motor then rotates the flywheel, cranking the engine until it starts. Once the engine starts, the ignition key should be released, disengaging the starter motor from the flywheel.
- Do not engage the starter for more than 10-15 seconds at a time. Allow a brief cool-down period (30-60 seconds) between attempts to prevent overheating.
- Ensure the vehicle is in neutral or park before attempting to start.
7. Fikojakojana
Regular inspection and basic maintenance can extend the life of your starter motor and ensure reliable operation.
- Fanaraha-maso ny Terminal: Periodically check all electrical connections to the starter motor and battery for corrosion, looseness, or damage. Clean terminals with a wire brush if corrosion is present.
- Fametrahana fiarovana: Ensure the starter motor remains securely mounted to the engine block. Loose mounting can lead to misalignment and premature wear.
- Toetran'ny bateria: A weak battery can put excessive strain on the starter motor. Ensure your battery is properly charged and in good condition.
- Fiarovana ny tontolo iainana: Keep the starter motor free from excessive dirt, moisture, and debris.
