1. - PRESENTATION OF AIR STARTER SERIES A

The GALI air starters are devices generally installed as auxiliary units of thermal motors or turbines, for their
start-up.
These starters are based on the principle of two geared rotors which are turned through the action of air
pressure. This movement is subjected to the appropriate reduction to obtain a determined torque on the output
shaft. To this shaft the appropriate pinion is fitted and the movement thereof pulls the motor it is desired to start.
This pulling action is achieved by meshing the pinion of the starter with a crown wheel usually fitted on the
flywheel of the motor.
The starters have internal mechanisms to achieve the meshing and avoid their start-up until it has been carried
out successfully. They are also provided with a device that avoids reengagement.

2.- TRANSPORT AND STORAGE, ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING

2.1. - TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

The reduced weight of the GALI starters allows their handling by a single operative for the jobs of maintenance,
assembly and dismantling.
The geometry of the starter is such that it is easy to located fastening elements which allow its transport or
lifting.
The packing which they are provided with for delivery facilitates transport and storage, at the same time as it
protects the starter from possible blows or surface damages.

The starters leave the factory with anti-rust grease that protects the internal mechanisms.
Nevertheless, it is recommended to store them in a dry place.

2.2. - ASSEMBLY
Completely remove the packing material. Remove the plastic caps that plug the holes corresponding to the inlet
nozzle and to the air outlets for accessories. The sole function of these plugs is to avoid dirt penetrating to the
interior of the starter before its final assembly.

In case any of the holes foreseen for reading the pressure (see point 3.3) are not used for this
purpose, close them in a secure manner by means of the corresponding threaded caps and
gaskets.

2.3. - DISMANTLING

Cover the access holes to the interior of the starter appropriately, avoiding the possible entry of
dirt or particles of any type. Take particular care with the caps themselves, which could
introduce or release loose particles into the interior.

In the event of the starter incorporating an electro valve, protect this particularly from impact. If
the starter will remain dismantled a long time, protect the pinion and output shaft of the starter
by means of oil or grease to prevent rusting.

-8-

3.- INSTALLATION

3.1. - POSITIONING AND ALIGNMENT

It is recommended the starter be coupled to the motor by means of a front flange.

GALI can supply standard flanges, or tailored according to order requirements.

The starter can be mounted on any position on the motor, the most recommendable being to
locate the silencer below the drive pinion shaft.

If the coupling has to be made unavoidably by cylindrical cradle, it is necessary to check that
this adapts perfectly without producing local stress, assisting it if necessary with an annular
clamp.

It should be verified that there is adequate play between drive pinion and crown wheel, and that
it is constant over the length of the tooth edge. Check if the front distance of the gearing is that
indicated. Also respect the screw tightening torques of the following diagram.

TIGHTENING TORQUE 24.5 Nm

The starter has to be firmly joined to the motor body (not to the bed or other attached
elements). To avoid vibrations between the starter and the connection pipe, the installation is
recommended near the starter of a straight length of flexible pipe of at least 300 mm, which
complies with the regulations relative to pipes under pressure (97/23/EC).

If it is not possible to secure the starter to the body of the motor, make sure that in the
operation thereof no vibrations are produced which affect the distance between the drive pinion
and the crown wheel of the motor flywheel.

3.2. - SUPPLY OF COMPRESSED AIR

The starter is designed to deliver its maximum torque at 30 bar, although this pressure will not always be
necessary to carry out start-up. The minimum pressure necessary to achieve motor start-up will depend on each
specific application. GALI guarantees that all A17 starters carry out the meshing movement and main valve
opening at least up to 8 bar.

In no case should the starter be subjected to pressures greater than 30 bar.

The air should arrive at the starter clean and dry. It is recommended an automatic purge be
fitted in the tank and a GALI air filter be connected immediately before the starter. The
installation should foresee a horizontal stretch for installation of the filter.

Unless expressly recommended otherwise, the inside diameter of the feeding pipe should not
at any point be less than 25 mm or 1 inches.

-10-

In the case of long pipes, the inside diameter should be greater than the minimum
recommended. The feeding conduit should have as short a run as possible and a minimum of
changes of direction.

To guarantee safety in starter maintenance, it is necessary to incorporate a lockable and

airtight shutoff valve which assures the isolation against pressure in the access line to
the starter when the valve is closed.

3.3. - PRESSURE TAKE-OFF

As can be seen in schematic 1.1, the starters comes with a air inlet pressure of 1 /4 threaded in the inlet
nozzle. When the starter is delivered, these sockets are plugged with the corresponding airtight cap.

It is recommended to use the free pressure socket to fit a pressure gauge, 0-40 bar.

3.4. - SUPPLY OF ELECTRIC POWER

In the cases where the control system incorporates an electro valve directly mounted on the starter, it will be
necessary to connect the supply voltage, according to the indications for the same.

The electrical installation has to comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage
Electrotechnical Regulations.

-11-

3.5. - POSSIBILITIES OF ASSEMBLY

3.5.1. INTAKE NOZZLE
Independently of the assembly positions of the starter as a whole with respect to the motor (see point 3.1), both
the intake nozzle and the exhaust silencer are directional, to facilitate their adaptation to the motor.
Four positions are possible, at 90 to each other, as indicated in the following figure:

01

02

If not specified otherwise, the position A is that delivered as standard.

To change from one position to another, it is necessary to remove the four screws 01 and rotate the intake
nozzle 02, taking care not to damage the O-ring that joins the two pieces and situate the flexible pipe in the
most favourable position. Be careful to avoid the entry of dirt to the interior of the starter. Replace the screws,
applying a torque of 24.5 Nm.

-12-

4- FIRST START UP
4.1. - AIR FEEDING CIRCUIT

The tube should be cleaned with pressurised air before being coupled to the starter, taking
particular care to prevent loose particles reaching the interior, due to welding the pipes or for
any other reason.

4.2. - CHECKING ASSEMBLY

Carry out all the installation checks without pressure in the line.

Check that the installation has been carried out in accordance with the general instructions provided above. In
particular, verify that the line has no passing restrictions, with regard to that indicated in point 3.2.
Check the fastening of all elements and the installation of the necessary gaskets to guarantee air-tightness in
the unions between elements.
4.3. PUTTING INTO SERVICE
ALWAYS RESPECT THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OF POINT 6 OF THIS MANUAL

Before connecting the starter to an installation that is in service, the air should always
be discharged from it.

When the installation is completed, open the air feed valve carefully, observing if there is any leak; in such a
case, close it again, empty the pipe slowly and clear the problem.
Apply short low-pressure bursts manually. Ensure the meshing between the pinion and crown wheel of the
motor is correct.

Do not make the starter work at pressures greater than those indicated in the
characteristics of the unit.

The installation of a pressure gauge connected to the pipe in the air intake to the starter allows
you to make sure that there is no air remaining in the circuit and, when the starter is working, it
will be possible to determine the effective air feed pressure.

-13-

5. - OPERATION

5.1. - DESCRIPTION OF THE ELEMENTS

The starter is made up of the following major blocks:
-

Main valve: it serves for opening the air passage to the interior of the starter.
Head: distribution of air to the various elements.
Motor: it includes the pair of rotors and the casing inside which the rotation takes place.
Reducer and output shaft: transmission necessary to deliver the appropriate torque and speed to the
output pinion and produce the meshing and unmeshing movements thereof.
Servo-interlock: includes the air signal valve to begin the start-up and meshing movement, as well as to
prevent re-meshing.
Exhaust silencer: limits the sound level of start-up.
Electrovalve: receives the electrical signal and converts it in a pneumatic signal

The following diagram offers a view in cross section of the main components of the starter:

-14-

5.2. - START-UP AND MESHING

The starter has two successive operations:
-

First action: in which the pinion carries out an approach movement to the crown wheel and
simultaneously a double turn that favours the meshing of both elements. Only when the meshing has
been completed successfully is it possible to proceed to the second movement.
Second movement: the main valve is opened, giving the motor body the possibility to develop its
maximum power.

5.3. - START UP
Once the second movement has been carried out, the starter accelerates the motor very quickly, thereby
reducing losses in the cylinders to the maximum until the compression is achieved under appropriate conditions
for producing ignition if the fuel feed is correct.
5.4. - SHUTDOWN
The shutdown can take place for different reasons:
5.4.1. - FOR ABSENCE OF SIGNAL
If the signal fed by the electro valve or the air plunger is cut off, the starter is stopped and disengages.

Control of the signal time can contribute to reducing the consumption of start-up air and
lengthening the useful life of the starter.

5.4.2. - FOR BACKWARD MOTION OF THE DRIVE PINION

At the moment when the motor comes into operation on its own, the greater torque generated by the latter
causes disengagement and an internal mechanism produces shutdown of the starter.

5.5. DISENGAGEMENT
When shutdown takes place for any of the reasons indicated in point 5.4, the drive pinion is automatically
withdrawn to the idle position.

5.6. - RESTART
When the starter has been stopped, it will remain immobile until the control air pressure disappears (electro
valve or plunger), for which reason, in order to operate the starter again, it is necessary to cease acting on the
plunger or to disable the electro valve briefly.
Since the actual starter mechanisms are incapable of detecting whether the motor is rotating or has stopped
after a start-up intent, this operation prevents the starter from insisting on another meshing action while the
person in charge of controlling the same is not sure that the motor is totally at rest, preventing the drive pinion
from attempting to engage if the crown wheel of the motor is still in motion, which could lead to serious damage.

Before attempting a new start-up always make sure that the crown wheel of the motor has
stopped.

-15-

6. SAFETY INDICATIONS

Always pay the maximum attention to possible air leaks. Always wear ear protection
when this starter is tested or compressed air discharges are made in the installation.
In the exhaust high sonic energy levels can be produced.

Always wear suitable eye protection for any maintenance operation of the starter.

For any operation on the starter, you should always close the supply and empty the
air feed pipe, by acting on the plunger when the installation is air and the electrically
controlled valve button when the installation is electric.
Disconnect, by means of a lockable shutoff valve, the air supply hose before
installing, dismantling or adjusting any accessory of this starter. The lock should
remain in place until operations on the starter are completed.
Before connecting the starter to an installation that is in service, you should always
discharge the air pressure in the same. If there is a pressure gauge at the inlet to the
starter, use it check for absence of pressure.

To avoid the risk of explosion, refrain from using air hoses or couplings in the
installation which are damaged or have not been accepted by the competent
inspection.
Never make the equipment work above the maximum useable pressure (30 bar). If
there is a pressure gauge at the inlet to the starter, use it check for absence of
pressure.
Hands or other body parts should be kept clear of the drive pinion F of the starter or
the crown wheel of the motor when air pressure is present in the start-up installation.
Risk of impact and entrapment.

Do not position yourself in the discharge area of compressed air (within

approximately 3m from the exhaust silencer) during start-up, nor leave loose objects
there that could be displaced by the same.

-16-

7. - MAINTENANCE

7.1. - GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS RESPECT SAFETY INDICATIONS DESCRIBED IN POINT 6 OF THIS MANUAL

Always close the shutoff valve with a padlock when carrying out any kind of maintenance task on the
installation. Discharge the air remaining in the pipe by activating the electrically controlled valve (the starter will
try to work, pay attention to the movements that take place), or else allow this air to discharge smoothly by
slowly loosening any plug. If there is a pressure gauge at the inlet to the starter, use it check for absence
of pressure.

Always use original GALI spare parts. The spare parts that are not GALI originals can generate
hazards or malfunctioning of the starter.

7.2. - MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

The preventive maintenance of the GALI starters greatly depends on the use that the corresponding user makes
thereof, both for the frequency of start-ups and for the type of motor. Indeed, a starter that never works
deteriorates more quickly than one which does so with a certain frequency (for example, once a week).

To achieve maximum duration and reliability in the operation of the GALI starter, the
maintenance program should be carried out which is detailed next.

Installation of the starter on the motor should assure the assembly of the same so
that the pinion is sufficiently protected to avoid risk of entrapments between the latter
and the crown wheel of the motor, or rubbing against the same. This protection
should be designed such that it catches possible fragments in the event of breakage
of the pinion or crown teeth.

9.3. INTAKE NOZZLE

The starters are delivered fitted with a standard connection nozzle (01) to which the air intake tube (02) can be
welded which connects it with the tank (or with the corresponding intermediate elements, cutoff valve, flexible
pipe, filter or any other piece).

In the event of using it this way, the welding (03) must be airtight and comply with the
corresponding regulations for pressure equipment (97/23/EC).

The nozzle has to be fixed to the starter with the four self-locking nuts (04) which are supplied untightened. Do
not forget to insert the O-ring (05) which is provided between the nozzle and the starter. Assure the correct
assembly of the same and avoid it being badly positioned, which would damage the same and mean loss of air.
If, during the assembly, this gasket is damaged it will be necessary to replace it with a new identical one.

9.2. - FRONT SECURING FLANGE

As well as a great number of standardized flanges, GALI can deliver specific front securing flanges for any
application of its starters.
