1		Starter
2		ignition switch
3		Starter relay
4		Battery/starter cable

The starting system is used to crank the engine at a speed sufficient to allow the engine to start. This system uses heavy-duty wires, connectors and switches due to its high amperage (at "high currents").

The starting system consists of a starter motor (starter) with reduction gear, battery, remote control switch (ignition switch) and relay.

The startup sequence is as follows:

• Ignition switch in start position III.
• The starter relay is activated.
• Voltage is applied to the starter solenoid.
• The starter solenoid engages the pinion gear and ring gear.
• The starter solenoid turns on the supply of current from the battery to the starter.
• The starter remains engaged until the ignition switch is released.
