\u201cContinental has expressed growing interest in this new PM-Series starter as a lighter weight alternative to the standard Energizer style they have been using on their six-cylinder engines,\u201d he said. \u201cThis new starter is a mid-weight. It\u2019s over three and a half pounds lighter than the Energizer style starter it replaces, but its new-generation components enable it to deliver performance on par with the benchmark Energizer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the aforementioned advantages, the new PM-Series starter offers other benefits, including:
\n
\nLarge, high-torque permanent magnet motor providing high-speed cranking performance.
\nLow in-rush current draw, which puts less strain on the battery.
\nExcellent cooling characteristics for a high-duty cycle.
\nDirect drive, so there is no need for a complex gear reduction system.
\nFAA-PMA approved for use on six-cylinder Continental engines.
\nAvailable in both 12- and 24-volt models. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe PM Series starter for Continental engines offers the best-of-both-worlds,\u201d Disbrow said. \u201cIt sits between lightweights and the standard Energizer, delivering Energizer-like performance, while weighing only a single pound more than the upper range of the lightweight starters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth the 12-volt model (PM1207) and the 24-volt (PM2407) list for $1,599.00,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are now available from Hartzell Engine Technologies\u2019 distributors and come with a 24-month or 1,000-hour warranty \u2013 whichever comes first.\u201d<\/p>\n
