Just a "Heads Up", the Owner's Manual says you can crank up to 40 seconds at a time but doesn't specify a cool-down time

I think I'd wait 5 minutes at least between single cranking attempts. If it were mine (as it was when I replaced all the IP o-rings) I'd wait 10.

Just my opinion.

MB is sure "proud" of their starters!
