The TRX 2.5 Racing Engine
Using the EZ-Start
Your EZ-Start controller plugs into a 4-prong receptacle in the
center of the pickup bed on your T-Maxx. When the red button
on the controller is depressed, the EZ-Start motor begins to spin
the engine, and power from the control unit heats the glow
plug. Assuming all settings and preparations are correct, the
engine should start almost immediately.
Each of the two status indicator
LEDs on the handheld control unit,
the
Motor LED and the Glow Plug
LED, should light green while
starting. If either LED fails to light
while starting, there is a fault
indicated with that function:
If the Glow Plug LED fails to
light, the glow plug may be bad,
or the glow plug wire may be
damaged or disconnected.
If the Motor LED fails to light
and the starter fails to operate,
then the EZ-Start is in
protection mode.
Protection Mode
The EZ-Start uses Smart Start
™ technology to monitor the
condition of the system and detect failures. The controller
monitors the load being placed on the EZ-Start motor. If the
load becomes excessive, the system shuts off power to the
motor to prevent costly damage to the motor and the
controller. This may occur, for example, if the engine floods with
fuel during starting. The starter spins at first but when excessive
fuel in the combustion chamber begins to lock up the engine,
the starter motor slows under the heavier load. This causes the
protection circuit to shut off the power to the motor. Allow at
least 3 minutes for the starter motor to cool and the circuit to
automatically reset before continuing. Use the time to find and
eliminate the condition that caused the excessive load on the
starter motor.
▼▼
When the EZ-Start
controller is in
protection mode, wait
at least three minutes before
attempting to start the
engine, to give the starter
motor time to cool.
It’s normal for your
EZ-Start controller
to become warm
after repeated use.
