Operating Guidelines
• Never exceed the nameplate maximum operating pressure rating.
• Always release the start button immediately after the engine starts.
• Liberally grease the teeth on the pinion and ring gear with a quality heavy duty open gear
lubricant. This will help promote the life of the ring gear and the drive pinion.
• Operate ST400 starters on compressed air only. They are not designed or sealed for operation
on natural gas.

General Information

• The efficiency of an air starter can be greatly impaired by an improper hook-up. Hoses smaller
than those recommended will reduce the volume of air to the motor. The number of tees and
elbows, and the length of the supply line should be kept to a minimum.
• On all vehicular installations and on stationary engines subject to vibration, use flexible
hoses instead of rigid pipe connections. Vehicle and engine vibration will loosen rigid pipe
connections whereas hoses will absorb the vibration and connections will remain tight.
• Supply lines must be free of contaminants. New piping must be free of scale and welding slag.
• All connections must be air tight. Use Ingersoll Rand SMB-441 Sealant on all NPT connections
throughout the system.
• Always run the air supply line from the side or top of the receiver and never at or near the
bottom.
• Installation of a "glad hand" is recommended for emergency re-pressurizing of the system. To
keep the "glad hand" clean and free of dirt, and to protect it from distortion, a second "glad
hand" closed by a pipe plug can be mated to it, or a glad hand protector bracket can be used.
