Storage/Laying Up Instructions
To maintain reliability and ensure a 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 spring starter is unwound before placing in storage
- Store the spring starter in a dry location away from water spray and flood risks, preferably in a water tight box, bag or container
- Coat the spring starter and especially the exposed pinion and shaft, in a light grease, waxoyl or similar wax based rust inhibitor.
- Ensure that the spring 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
- Keep the operating instructions and winding handle with the spring starter
- If a crank wound spring starter is flooded with water, remove plastic cap opposite winding adaptor and drain thoroughly. The spring starter should then be immersed in a light oil for at least 2 hours. Drain the oil, replace the cap and operate the spring starter on an engine a number of times to disperse any remaining oil or water and to ensure the spring starter still functions. Re-coat with wax/grease
