NOTE :
Due to dust accumulation, rewind
starter must be periodically cleaned, inspect-
ed and relubricated.
CAUTION : It is of the utmost importance
that the rewind starter spring(s) be lubri-
cated periodically using specific lubricants.
Otherwise, rewind starter component life will
be shortened and / or rewind starter will not
operate properly under very cold tempera-
tures.
Lubricate spring assembly with silicone com-
pound grease (P / N 420 8970 61) and position
into starter housing as illustrated.
CAUTION : This lubricant must NOT be
used on rewind starter locking spring as it
does not stay on under vibration.
