The distributing disc K 43169 is a precision control component within the starting device of the Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda/Sulzer ZV40/48 engine, where it supports the controlled distribution of the starting medium within the starting system. Its accurately manufactured geometry and passages or control surfaces are intended to coordinate the delivery of the starting medium according to the required starting sequence, helping the engine achieve reliable and orderly rotation during start-up. Because correct distribution and timing are essential for effective starting, the position, surface condition, dimensional accuracy, and freedom of movement of the K 43169 are particularly important. During operation, the disc may be exposed to repeated starting cycles, pressure forces, mechanical contact, friction, vibration, and possible contamination from the working system, all of which can influence its long-term performance. During maintenance or overhaul, its functional surfaces, passages, contact areas, and associated components should be checked for wear, scoring, corrosion, deposits, obstruction, or deformation that could interfere with proper distribution. By supporting accurate and repeatable control of the starting sequence, the K 43169 distributing disc contributes to reliable engine starting, balanced operation of the starting system, reduced mechanical stress, and dependable readiness of the ZV40/48 engine.
