AttAching the stArter
1. Locate the following hardware:
• 4x10mm flat washers (8)
• 3x15mm Phillips machine screws (4)
• 3mm lock nuts (4)
2. Attach the starter to the upper half of the case, using the above hardware. The front mounting holes of the starter should
be attached to the front section of the upper case. This is considered to be the side with the two individual holes and not
the side with the four slotted holes. The screw with a washer should be inserted from inside the case and secured with the
washer and nut on the starter’s mounting holes. This will be a tight area to work in, and it may be best to use needle-nose
pliers to hold the washer and nut in place while using a screwdriver to secure the hardware.
3. Repeat this step for the other three mounting holes.

cOMPLeting FinAL AsseMBLY
1. Locate the following hardware:
• 3x18mm pan head Phillips self-taping screws ((4) black)
2. Place the upper half of the case onto the lower half. Be sure the rear of the starter lines up with the Tamiya connector
protruding through the rear of the lower case. There is a molded piece on the inside of the upper case that helps to secure
the Tamiya connector in place on the lower case.
3. While holding the entire unit in place, screw one 3x18mm pan head screw into each of the four holes on the bottom of the
lower case, making sure a secure attachment has been made with the upper case.
4. Tighten all four holes securely.
instALLing the BAtterY
1. Locate the included double-sided tape.
2. Peel the protective cover from one side and apply in the center of the lower half of the case. Remove the other side of the
protective cover when you are ready to mount the battery.
3. The lower case is molded to accept the gel cell battery and should be placed into the lower case according to Diagram 1.
The included wire with the female Tamiya connector should be connected to the terminal on the gel cell battery. Be sure
red is attached to the positive (+) and black is attached to the negative (–). The female Tamiya connector is used for
connection with the starter and for charging the battery. The Tamiya connector fits into the molded slot at the end of the
lower case.
4. If you are using the 10-cell 12V Ni-Cd battery, it also fits conveniently in the lower case. We have included an insert to
help secure the battery in place along with the tape. Please refer to Diagram 2 for proper placement.
