Generator starting problem

Can anyone help me with where to get info on the repair or replacement of a generator starter. I believe the starter somehow was engaged while it was running due to the racket it was making before it was discovered and shut down. Now the starter will not turn over the generator and just makes clacking noises.
My Dolphin 535 has a Generac GN-480 with 576 hrs on it. My owners manual gives me general maintenance, and I have a parts listing that gives me a part number for the starter but no instruction as to how to go about the repairs.
