Abstract
A method for starting an internal combustion engine by a compressed air starting system, in which in a first starting sequence the engagement of the starter is brought about by compressed air, a decompression valve for relieving the cylinder working space is acted on in the opening direction, and starting of the internal combustion engine is initiated by pulsed compressed air being applied to the starter. In a second starting sequence the decompression valve is acted on in the closing direction, and constant compressed air is applied to the starter.

A method for starting an internal combustion engine with a compressed air starting system, comprising the steps of:
- in a first start sequence, engaging a starter using compressed air, acting on a decompression valve in an opening direction so as to relieve pressure in a cylinder working chamber, and also initiating a procedure of starting up the internal combustion engine by applying pulsed compressed air to the starter;
- and in a second start sequence acting on the decompression valve in a closing direction and applying constant compressed air to the starter.
