STARTER AND STARTER SOLENOID (F10000RG-2)

a. The starting system for this engine is of the type known as a solenoid-shift starter. See figure 4-38. When

the starter circuit is activated, battery current energizes the start solenoid. The solenoid causes an arm to push the starter

pinion into the flywheel ring gear. Simultaneously, the start solenoid contacts close and allow the starter motor to start

running. An overrunning clutch protects the starter from damage before it can be disengaged from the flywheel. The

refrigerator unit circuit is designed so that it will trip a circuit breaker on the control panel if the engine does not start in 30

seconds. This feature protects the starter from serious damage. Starter motors are not designed for continuous service.
