Slow Engine Cranking
The IPU Starter can be used to slowly crank an engine, for the adjustment of tappets, pump timing
or equipment coupled to your engine. With the red trip lever in the upright (downward for
anticlockwise starter) position turn the winding handle clockwise for two turns. This will engage the
pinion with the ring gear. Now trip the lever through 90°. The black reset knob will pull in and lock
the red trip lever in this position. The engine can now be turned slowly with the winding handle,
and any adjustments, to the engine, may be made. Once slow cranking is completed you should
pull the black reset knob and either fully wind to start the engine (see Operation) or unwind to
disengage the pinion (see Unwinding).
