Replacing a broken or worn starter cord

Fit a new cord through the hole in the pulley and tie 
a knot to secure it. Feed the other end of the cord

end. Wind about 3 turns of the starter cord onto the 
pulley. Fit the bolt through the centre of the pulley 
and tighten to a torque of 2–3 Nm.
WARNING!
If the recoil spring is still under 
tension when the pulley is re-
moved it can fl y out and cause 
injury. Wear eye protection.
