INTRODUCTION 

This handbook is provided to help the operator to obtain the best service from the 

Prestolite Handraulic Starter. Normally the starter is “trouble free”, but damage or 

unusual conditions of service may necessitate examination of the system for faults. 

After long service it may be necessary to replace worn parts.  

The letter G in the starter unit typecode i.e. B50G53 identifies the direction of rotation, 

and indicates suitability for engines having clockwise rotation of the crankshaft viewed 

from the free end. 

Please quote the unit typecode and component part number when ordering spare parts. 

Only use genuine Prestolite Parts and approved Hydraulic Fluids and greases in the 

starter installation. The use of spurious parts or incorrect fluids may cause failures, and 

will invalidate claims arising from their use.

SAFETY 

Detailed notes are included in the operating and service instructions where appropriate, 

and are summarised below. 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

1.  Do not disconnect pipe joints with the system under pressure. Discharge the 

accumulator first by operating the relay valve. 

2.  Do not operate the starter unless the starter unit is secured to its mounting 

bracket on the engine. During starting the starter pinion is fed forward and 

rotated at high speed, and the engagement teeth can inflict serve injury. 

3.  Do not remove spring retaining nuts, circlips or other retainers without first 

ensuring that the spring is prevented from releasing suddenly. 

4.  Do not attempt to dismantle nor flame cut the accumulator. It is permanently 

charged with nitrogen gas at high pressure. 

5.  If the accumulator is to be scrapped, follow the guidelines  as described on page 

19. 

6. Do not use lubricating oil or vegetable based oil (such as automobile brake 

fluid). Use only the hydraulic fluids recommended on page 1.  3

WORKING PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

The Prestolite Handraulic Starter system is shown in Figure 1, and uses a combination 

of pneumatic and hydraulic principles to store and release energy for engine starting. 

The essential units are: - 

 

Feed Tank / Hand Pump   Hydraulic Accumulator 

Pressure Gauge     Relay Valve 

Starter Unit       Engine Dog 

 

Connected by high-pressure tubing. 

The Starter Unit is attached to the free end of the engine by a mounting bracket, and the 

engine dog is attached to the crankshaft using a suitable adapter. 

The heart of the starter is the Hydraulic Accumulator, which comprises a cylinder 

closed at each end, in which a leak-proof piston is free to slide. Above the piston the 

cylinder is pre-charged with nitrogen to a pressure of approximately 200 bar 

(2900lbf/in2

) and permanently sealed. Under these conditions the piston rests at the base 

of the cylinder. 

By operating the Hand Pump, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the feed tank and pumped 

into the Accumulator below the piston until the piston has been displaced sufficiently to 

raise the nitrogen and fluid pressure to approximately 310 bar (4500 lbf/in2

). 

The Starter Unit incorporates two opposed cylinders, each containing a rack in mesh 

with a common pinion. This pinion has face teeth at one end; during starting this drives 

a dog having corresponding teeth, which is attached to the engine crankshaft. 

Two helical grooves formed in the periphery of the pinion are engaged by spring loaded 

balls incorporated in the starter housing; these impart a forward axial movement to the 

pinion to effect its engagement with the engine dog, positive engagement being 

maintained by the helical tooth-form of the pinion and racks. 

Operation of the Relay Valve lever admits hydraulic fluid at high pressure to the Starter 

Unit racks, bringing the pinion into engagement with the engine dog and imparting a 

high rotational speed to the engine crankshaft. 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

First ensure that the engine is in a ready-to-start condition, primed with fuel and at full 

compression. If the engine has not been started since leaving the manufacturers works 

check the Starter and Engine for freedom as described on page 13. 

Check that the Feed Tank is filled to the correct level with approved hydraulic fluid and 

vented as described on page 10 “Filling and Venting the System”. Raise pressure to 

between 276 and 345 bar (4000-5000 lbf/in2

) using the Hand Pump. 

To fire the engine pull the Relay Valve operating lever until resistance is felt 

(about 45°), then continue until the lever has reached its stop. The Relay Valve 

lever operates a two-stage valve, and should not be snatched or jerked. 

The first stage allows a slow bleed of pressurised fluid to the starter racks, causing slow 

rotation of the starter pinion accompanied by its forward axial movement until it is 

engaged with the engine dog. 4

The second stage releases the full flow of fluid at high pressure to the racks; this 

provides the starting impulse. 

When the engine starts, the lever is released to return to its normal position. Springs 

return the racks to their original position and the pinion retracts. Fluid from the starter 

unit is returned to the feed tank, via ports in the Relay Valve, ready for the next 

charging of the accumulator. 

The engine can be inched over for making adjustments or checking freedom, with the 

accumulator discharged, by holding the Relay Valve open and operating the Hand 

Pump. 

A single Accumulator contains sufficient oil for one starting impulse when used with 

the B50 Starter Unit, and three impulses with the smaller B35 Starter Unit, before oil 

recharging by operating the Hand Pump. 5

SERVICING THE HANDRAULIC STARTER 

The numerical references used in the text to identify components correspond to item 

numbers used in the Spare Parts Lists. 

Before dismantling any equipment, or carrying out any servicing, it is essential for the 

workbench, tools and component trays to be scrupulously clean. 

Only clean diesel oil should be used for washing purposes. We do not recommend using 

paraffin (kerosene) as it can contain water, which may cause corrosion.  

Particles of dirt or any foreign matter in the starter system will lead to premature failure, 

by causing valves to leak, damaging seals, or obstructing small orifices in the Relay 

Valve. 

Seals and washers should be renewed if there is any doubt of their suitability for further 

service, and copper washers annealed before use. 

STARTER UNITS B35G8 AND B50G53 

The following instructions apply to both of the above units except where stated. Refer to 

page 17 for illustration. 

Detail difference between B35G8 and B50G53 

On B35G8, rack travel is arrested by a mitred shoulder abutting a circlip fitted to a 

groove machined in the cylinder. 

On B50G53, rack travel is arrested by a flat shoulder abutting a stop washer (20) 

clamped between cylinder and housing. 

Do not operate the starter unit unless it is secured to the mounting on the engine. 

During operation the starter pinion is fed forward and rotated at high speed and 

engagement teeth can inflict severe injury. To assist dismantling and assembly a firmly 

fixed mounting plate, and peg spanners as shown in fig 2 are necessary in addition to 

normal workshop tools.  

Dismantling 

Bolt the starter housing to the mounting plate. 

 

Unscrew the front cover (2). Remove the pipe assembly after unscrewing pipe nuts at  

each end of the starter unit. 

 

Remove the stud coupling (30) and washer (29). 

 

Slacken nuts (12) retaining the end covers 

 

IMPORTANT 

Note that these nuts are the sole means of retaining the end covers and holding captive 

the rack return springs. Each end cover should be held firmly while the nuts are being 

removed, and the springs allowed to expand slowly against hand pressure until they 

exert no further force. Note from which side of the centre housing each cover is 

removed as the dowel and spring plug (7,8) have alternative positions on assembly.6

To withdraw the pinion. 

 

If the purpose of dismantling is solely to change the pinion, refer now to re-assembly 

page 7. 

 

Using a peg spanner Figure 2, remove each cylinder cover (10). It may be necessary to 

clamp each cylinder to prevent rotation, using a strap wrench or pipe clamp 

(46mm/1.81” – B35, 64mm/2.52” – B50). 

 

Push out the rack assemblies. Unscrew each cylinder, and remove the stop washers (20). 

Keep these with their respective racks and cylinders, and note from which position on 

the centre housing each was removed. 

 

Wash all parts in clean fluid, dry – preferably by air blast, and inspect for damage, wear 

and corrosion. Remove any burr from the helical grooves of the pinion using an oil 

stone. 

Assembly  

Racks and Cylinders 

 

Inspect the “U” seal and backing ring (17,18) and joint ring (11) and fit replacements if 

necessary. 

 

The sealing lips of the “U” seal, and its back face must be free from cuts, tears or other 

discontinuity. Radial marks on the back face indicate the leakage has been occurring 

past the inner sealing lip.    

 

The PTFE backing ring should be replaced if the thickness is below 1mm for B35 or 

2mm for B50. 

 

A small fringe, which may form on the back face, should be cut off carefully flush with 

face using a sharp knife or razor blade. 

 

When fitting new seals, they and the rack should be greased lightly to prevent the seals 

being twisted or damaged. See figure 3 for correct assembly. Note that the chamfer in 

the bore of the backing ring must face away from the “U” seal. 7

Refit rack stop washers in their original position unless they are damaged or faulty, in 

which case use new washers of the same thickness. 

Renew cylinders if bores are scored, rough or rusty.  

Screw and tighten the cylinders into the centre housing, ensuring that each is fully home 

and clamping the stop washer against the housing. Smear the rack assemblies and 

cylinder bores with grease. Slide the rack into the cylinder taking care not to damage the 

backing ring or sealing lip of the “U” seal as they enter the honed bore and push each 

fully home. 

Put the pinion in position, and push the racks inwards simultaneously. With pressure 

maintained, check that the pinion is free to slide, and that there is a small amount of 

backlash between pinion and rack teeth. 

If the Pinion is not free, reverse the position of the racks. 

Retract adjusting screw (14) so that the underside of the head is flush with the cover 

face (10) but without distorting spring (15). 

Using a new joint ring (11) replace the cylinder cover (10) and tighten firmly. 

Remove the pinion, and push the racks outwards to the full extent of travel. 

Grease the pinion, slide it into mesh with the racks, and push it fully into the housing. 

Check that each of the helical grooves cut in the periphery is visible in the larger of the 

two holes (for the spring cups) on each side of the centre housing. 

Put the steel balls in the spring cups, springs, spring guides and rack return springs  

(2 each side on B35, 3 on B50).  

Re-fit the end covers, making sure that each is assembled to the correct side of the 

centre housing. The two holes each side for the locating dowel and spring cup are 

reversed in position, and the spring plug and dowel assembly position in the end cover 

is varied to suit. 

Check and adjust if necessary the axial position of the pinion, to a dimension of  

2.5mm +/-0.2mm from the starter mounting flange to the tops of the teeth. 

The adjustment is by rack adjusting screws fitted in the cylinder cover. 

Adjust the screws by equal amounts, ensure that the pinion is still free. Clockwise 

rotation of the screws causes the pinion to advance. 

Refit the stud couplings, and pipe assembly.

HAND PUMP 6518-35   Refer to page 18. 

SERVICING 

 

Three spare part kits are available for the pump as shown on page 19. 

 

1. Seal Kit  6518-39 

2. Gauge Kit  6518-28 

3. Linkage kit 6518-29 

 

DISMANTLING TO REPLACE SEALS 

Note:  Make sure the tank is fully drained and then grip the pump tank securely in a vice 

before trying to dismantle. Remove the gauge and linkage assembly first to reduce the 

possibility of damage to these items. It is recommended that only seal replacement be 

carried out on the pump. Other pump faults are serviced by replacement. 

Gauge Assembly  

Remove the gauge assembly using a 19mm spanner. The gauge requires little 

maintenance except checking for any leaks, and if the gauge is faulty it is serviced by 

replacement with service kit 6518-28. 

Linkage 

Remove the circlips and withdraw the 2 pins and levers from the lever support housing. 

Pay particular attention to wear of the pins (1) levers (25) and lever support (7). Replace 

any parts, which are worn, damaged or otherwise unsuitable for re-use with service kit 

6518-29. 

Main Pumping Piston 

Remove the main piston by inserting a suitable bar in the hole on the end of the piston 

then slowly turning and pulling the piston assembly, withdraw the main piston from the 

piston housing body. Using a 50mm A/F spanner remove the piston housing and then 

remove o’rings (53, 54). To replace the top and bottom seals (33, 34) remove them 

using a pointed scriber to prise them from their recesses noting which way round they 

go and replace.  

Filter 

Undo the filter plug located at the back, on the right hand side of the pump. Then using 

pointed pliers pull out the filter mesh (2) from its seating. Clean the filter mesh. 

Relief valve 

The relief valve is on the right-hand side of the pump. Remove the main body (38), 

washer (4) and steel ball (37). Do not undo the locknut (39) and alter the adjusting 

screw setting (40). If the relief valve is leaking past the adjusting screw (40) it will be 

necessary to replace seal (35). Remove the spring assembly (36, 41, 42) from the body 

to remove  the seal (35) for replacement. 9

 

Tank O’Rings 

Undo the tie bar nut (50) using a 17mm socket and washer (48) to remove tank from the 

pump body. Push out the top plate (45) and remove the o’rings (46). Replace o’rings as 

required.   

CLEANING 

Clean pump body and internal parts after dismantling using a fluid for use with viton 

seals i.e. clean diesel oil. Blow out all galleries and ports before re-assembly. 

Replacement of any damaged or worn seals is by Hand pump service kit 6518-39. 

ASSEMBLY 

Assembly is a reverse of the dismantling procedure noting the following: 

Tank 

When assembling the tank to the pump body use a Studlock adhesive when replacing 

the tie bar nut (50). 

Relief valve 

Place the steel ball (37) in the port then screw in the release valve body assembly (36, 

38, 39, 41, 42) remembering the copper washer (4).  

Note: If the relief valve seal (35) has been changed or there is doubt about the relief 

valve pressure setting, this must be checked when unit is finish assembled. The relief 

valve is set at 5000 lbf/in2

 and is adjusted by releasing the locknut (39) and turning the 

grub screw (40) using a 5mm hexagonal wrench clockwise to increase pressure and  

anti-clockwise to decrease pressure. 

Main Pumping Piston 

Insert O’rings (53, 54) and screw in the piston housing into the pump body. Replace the 

main piston (44) carefully pushing and turning into the piston housing. Do not hit the 

end of the piston.  

Linkage 

Connect the lever support (7) to the piston with pin (1) and circlips (8). Do not over 

stretch the circlip when fitting. Place the 2 connecting levers (25) into the lever support 

(7) and fit the second pin and circlip. Connect the levers to the bracket using the bolt 

and nut (26, 27). Carefully tighten making sure the levers are free to move in the 

bracket.  

Gauge Assembly 

Reconnect the gauge assembly, ensuring it does not foul on the tank return pipe. 10

RELAY VALVE RV7: Refer to page 20 

Note. Before disconnecting or attempting to remove the Relay Valve, release the system 

pressure by operating the Relay Valve lever, then drain the feed tank by disconnecting 

the 12mm pipe to the starter and pumping the Hand Pump, collect the fluid in a clean 

container for re-use. 

ACCUMULATOR: Refer to page 21 

Note. Before disconnecting or attempting to remove the Accumulator, release the 

system pressure by operating the Relay Valve lever, then drain the feed tank by 

disconnecting the 12mm pipe to the starter and pumping the Hand Pump, collect the 

fluid in a clean container for re-use. 

FILLING AND VENTING THE SYSTEM 

After mounting and connecting the various units, fill the Feed Tank with approved 

hydraulic fluid to the indicated level. 

Pull the Relay Valve operating lever to the fully open position and operate the hand 

pump gently until the starter racks have engaged the pinion and then completed their 

travel – about ¾ turns of the engine crankshaft. 

Release the Relay Valve lever, thus allowing the fluid to be returned to the feed tank by 

the spring loaded starter racks. 

Allow air to vent from the returning fluid, repeat as necessary until returning fluid is 

free from air. Check the feed tank level and top up as necessary. 

If the hand pump fails to deliver fluid, it will be necessary to vent it by slackening the 

gauge union a couple of turns and operating the lever until fluid emerges free from air 

bubbles. Retighten the union and resume venting. 

Note: 

Where an application has the starter unit positioned above the level of the feed tank it 

will be necessary to vent the starter at the two rack connections to ensure that there is no 

air in the starter unit.  It is not recommended that the starter unit be fitted above the 

level of the feed tank for this reason.  

 

Do not attempt to vent the system by removing or disturbing the relief valve. 

The system is self-venting in service if laid out as we recommend, and further venting 

should only be necessary if pipe runs have been disconnected, or the starter set is 

operated with insufficient fluid. 

If the starter fails to engage properly or disengages during operation, this may be due to 

air in the system, and it should be vented as described. 

When checking the fluid level in the Feed Tank make sure first that there is no pressure 

in the system, by operating the relay lever valve. PIPE CONNECTIONS 

Use only the correct size and specification of seamless, ductile, high-pressure quality of 

steel pipe, and the correct fittings as supplied by Prestolite. 

 

Three sizes of pipe are used in the starter system. 

 

6mm diameter:  Connecting the hand pump to the relay valve and accumulator 

assembly. 

 

10mm diameter:  Connecting feed tank and relay valve, and two high pressure pipes 

on starter unit. Minimum inside radius of bend 38mm (11/2′′). 

 

12mm diameter:  Connecting relay valve to starter unit. Minimum inside radius of 

bend 51mm (2′′). 

 

IMPORTANT:  

Always make sure that metal filings, burrs and dirt are removed from pipes and unions 

before fitting to the system, especially when new pipes have been made, or existing 

pipes modified. 

Cut the pipe to the correct length and square to its axis. Remove burrs by lightly filing, 

without chamfering the outside diameter. Roll cutters are not advised, as they tend to 

close the end of the pipe, cause heavy burrs and may damage the sealing diameter. 

Clean and oil or grease all surfaces of the pipe, union body, nut, collet “O” ring etc. 

11ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 

Weekly 

Operate Starter. Inspect for oil leaks at all unions. Where leaks are apparent check 

whether they are from the pipe “O” ring or coupling washer. 

Refer to page 2. Safety Precautions 

Leak from pipe “O” ring. 

Leak from coupling washer. Slacken union nut while holding the coupling body, tighten 

coupling body, and retighten union nut. 

If leakage still occurs, replace the coupling washer. 

Monthly 

Check fluid level in feed tank, and add fluid if necessary. 

Grease the relay valve lever pivot. 

 

Check all mounting nuts and bolts, especially those fixing the starter unit, and tighten as 

necessary. Renew any broken or missing spring washers.

Quarterly 

Remove starter unit front cover, and check free movement of racks. Hold relay valve 

lever at fully open position and operate the hand pump. The starter pinion should move 

slowly into engagement with the engine dog, then rotate about three quarters of a turn. 

After releasing the relay valve lever the pinion should rotate freely and return to its 

original position. On completion of its return, a distinct click should be heard as the 

spring loaded location balls re-engage with the helical slots of the pinion. Failure of the 

racks to return may be due to accumulation of hard grease or dirt in the centre housing 

or on the rack and pinion teeth. Strip, clean, and adjust as described in the SERVICING 

INSTRUCTIONS. Page 5. 

Remove feed tank air breather, wash in clean fuel oil and refit. 

In very dusty conditions the feed tank air breather may require cleaning more 

frequently.
