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.

hOOKing UP the stArter Wires
1. It will be necessary to attach a male Tamiya connector to the starter wires. We have included this wire and connector with
the Starter Source for your convenience.
2. It will be necessary to cut back the starter wires to your desired length to attach to the Starter Source.
3. Keep in mind when attaching to the male Tamiya connector and wire that the black wire with the white stripe is positive
(+) and the solid black wire is negative (–).
4. After cutting through both starter wires at the desired length, strip each wire back 3/8”.
5. Slide one rubber battery terminal insulator over each wire.
6. Tin the starter wires, using a soldering iron.
7. Crimp the red lead wire attached to the male Tamiya connector to the white striped starter wire, then solder.
8. Crimp the black lead wire to the solid black starter wire, then solder.
9. After the solder joint cools, slide the rubber terminal insulator over the terminal.
10. Once you have completed assembly of the Starter Source, connect the male Tamiya connector from the starter to the
female Tamiya connector in the rear of the case.
11. After the battery has been charged (see below), attach together the Tamiya connectors. Push the Starter button and the
starter should engage and rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from the cone end.
chArging the BAtterY
We recommend using a 12V 130mAh Overnight Charger (HAN166) for charging your PowerPro Starter Source. Normal charge
time is approximately 8–10 hours.
NOTICE: When using another charger source, consult the instruction manual so you charge the battery at the correct charge
rate, including fast charges. Charging the battery incorrectly can result in damage to the battery and serious injury and fire
may also result.
