8.6.3 Damage to starter motor
The starter is fitted with a free wheel or axial rotating spring cog, which prevents the starter being driven externally
by means of the motor. The free wheel will be heavily worn, if the starter still operates, thereby causing damage to
the springs, roller bearings or cog teeth. This could lead to complete destruction of the starter.
It is important that every person who operates the generator is informed of this situation. This is practically
the only handling error that can be made on board that can lead to fatal consequences for both generator
and operator.
