6. Funcionamento
The starter motor is an integral part of your vehicle's ignition system. When you turn the ignition key or press the start button, the starter motor engages with the engine's flywheel, rotating the crankshaft to initiate the combustion process. Once the engine starts, the starter disengages automatically.
The Valeo 600060 is designed for reliable and efficient engine starting. Avoid prolonged cranking (more than 10-15 seconds) to prevent overheating the starter motor. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, allow the starter to cool down before trying again, and investigate the underlying cause.
7. Mantemento
The Valeo 600060 starter motor is a sealed unit and generally requires no routine maintenance. However, periodic checks of related components can help ensure its longevity:
- Estado da batería: Ensure your vehicle's battery is in good condition and fully charged. A weak battery can strain the starter.
- Conexións por cable: Periodically inspect the battery cables and starter motor connections for corrosion or looseness. Clean and tighten as necessary.
- Conexións terrestres: Verify that all ground connections related to the starter and battery are clean and secure.
