Compatible Applications

The Mi-T-M AX-0015 Electric Start Option is designed for:

• Mi-T-M AM2-PH09-08P air compressors
• Compatible engine configurations used on the designated compressor
• Approved Mi-T-M electric-start installations
• Compressor starting-system repairs or upgrades
• Equipment requiring OEM electric-start option AX-0015

Compatibility depends on the complete compressor and engine configuration. Always verify the compressor model, serial number, engine model and specification, flywheel and ring-gear arrangement, starter mounting provisions, charging system, battery requirements, wiring configuration, parts diagram, and original part number before ordering.

Function of the Electric Start Kit

The AX-0015 Electric Start Option is designed to:

• Supply electrical cranking power to the engine
• Rotate the engine during startup
• Reduce the effort required for manual recoil starting
• Support more convenient starting during frequent use
• Integrate with compatible starter controls and wiring
• Maintain the manufacturer-specified start-system configuration
• Restore electric-start operation when approved components are replaced
• Support reliable compressor startup when properly installed and maintained

The electric-start system does not correct fuel, ignition, compression, carburetor, or engine-condition problems. The engine must be properly maintained and prepared for starting.

Typical Electric-Start Components

Depending on the current Mi-T-M package configuration, the AX-0015 option may involve compatible:

• Electric starter motor
• Starter switch or key control
• Wiring harness
• Battery cables
• Solenoid or starting relay
• Battery tray or mounting bracket
• Charging-system connections
• Protective covers
• Mounting fasteners
• Required engine-specific hardware

Important: This list describes components commonly associated with an electric-start system and does not confirm that every item is included. Verify the current AX-0015 package contents before purchasing.

Electric Start Benefits

When correctly installed and maintained, an electric-start system can:

• Simplify startup of the compressor engine
• Reduce physical effort during repeated starting
• Support convenient commercial operation
• Improve usability in frequent start-and-stop applications
• Provide more consistent engine cranking
• Reduce dependence on the recoil starter
• Help operators start the compressor from its normal operating position

A recoil starter may remain available as a backup only when included in the applicable engine configuration.

Common Signs Service or Replacement May Be Needed

Inspect the electric-start system if you notice:

• Starter does not operate when activated
• Starter clicks but does not crank the engine
• Engine cranks slowly
• Starting is intermittent
• Battery repeatedly becomes discharged
• Starter continues running after the control is released
• Cables or terminals become hot
• Wiring insulation is cracked, melted, or damaged
• Corrosion is present on battery connections
• Starter gear does not engage or disengage correctly
• Unusual grinding or clicking sounds
• Fuse or circuit protection repeatedly opens

Starting problems may also result from a discharged battery, loose ground, corroded terminals, incorrect oil viscosity, seized compressor pump, fuel-system problem, ignition failure, damaged flywheel gear, or internal engine condition. Diagnose the complete system before replacing individual parts.

Installation & Service Notes

• Shut down the compressor and allow the engine and pump to cool.
• Close the fuel valve and work away from flames or ignition sources.
• Relieve all compressed air from the receiver tank.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire before mechanical installation.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable first when a battery is present.
• Review the applicable Mi-T-M and engine service instructions.
• Confirm that the engine supports the required electric-start components.
• Inspect the flywheel, ring gear, starter mounting points, and charging system.
• Install brackets, starter components, wiring, and controls in the specified locations.
• Route wiring away from the exhaust, cylinder head, belts, pulleys, and sharp edges.
• Use protective grommets and cable retainers where specified.
• Tighten electrical terminals and mounting fasteners to the required torque.
• Install only a battery of the specified type, size, polarity, and rating.
• Connect the positive battery cable before the negative cable.
• Confirm correct wiring and polarity before attempting to start the engine.
• Test starter engagement and charging-system operation after installation.

Important: Incorrect wiring, reversed polarity, short circuits, or improperly secured battery cables can damage the starter system and create fire, explosion, or burn hazards. Qualified service is recommended when electrical or engine modifications are required.

Battery Safety Recommendations

• Use only the battery type and rating specified by Mi-T-M.
• Confirm that the battery fits securely in the approved mounting location.
• Keep terminals clean, tight, and protected against accidental short circuits.
• Connect and disconnect cables in the manufacturer-specified sequence.
• Never place tools or metal objects across battery terminals.
• Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
• Wear eye protection and suitable gloves during battery service.
• Charge the battery only with a compatible charger.
• Replace a swollen, cracked, leaking, or frozen battery.
• Follow applicable regulations for battery recycling and disposal.

The battery may be sold separately unless specifically listed as included with the AX-0015 option.

Operating Notes

• Check engine oil and compressor-pump oil where applicable.
• Verify that the receiver tank drain is closed.
• Confirm that the compressor is positioned on a stable, level surface.
• Open or position the fuel valve and choke as instructed.
• Activate the electric starter only for the recommended cranking interval.
• Release the starting control as soon as the engine runs.
• Allow the starter to cool between unsuccessful attempts.
• Never engage the starter while the engine is already running.
• Investigate hard-starting conditions instead of repeatedly cranking.
• Monitor the battery and charging system during routine operation.

Ordering Notes

• Confirm that AX-0015 is the required option number.
• Verify that the compressor is model AM2-PH09-08P.
• Match the option to the compressor serial number and production configuration.
• Confirm the complete engine model, specification, and starter provisions.
• Review the applicable parts diagram and electrical schematic.
• Verify the required battery voltage, capacity, dimensions, and terminal arrangement.
• Confirm whether the battery, tray, starter, switch, solenoid, cables, and hardware are included.
• Determine whether a charging coil, flywheel, or ring gear is required separately.
• Do not order solely by compressor series or engine appearance.
• Confirm whether the kit is intended for factory installation, field installation, or replacement service.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Keep the battery properly charged during storage and operation.
• Inspect terminals and cables for corrosion, looseness, and heat damage.
• Verify that wiring remains clear of hot and moving components.
• Check starter mounting hardware regularly.
• Listen for abnormal starter engagement or gear noise.
• Test the charging system according to the maintenance schedule.
• Do not crank the starter continuously beyond the recommended interval.
• Maintain the engine fuel, ignition, lubrication, and air-filter systems.
• Drain the compressor tank and service the pump according to Mi-T-M instructions.
• Remove or maintain the battery during extended storage as directed.
• Replace damaged wiring, terminals, switches, and safety covers promptly.
• Use genuine OEM Mi-T-M components to maintain proper electrical compatibility, fit, and dependable compressor starting.
