Installing the
spring clip/position of knot
Now insert pawl in rope rotor and press spring clip onto
starter post with a suitable pair of pliers, making sure that
the spring clip engages on the pawl's guide pin and points
it
in the clockwise direction. Then tension rewind spring.
Replacing a broken
rewind spring
Remove the rope rotor as above. The spring housing to-
gether with the rewind spring
can
then be removed from
the fan housing by turning the fan housing over and let it
drop out of the recess
in the fan housing. A replacement
spring and
spring housing are supplied as an assembly.
Lubricate the spring with a few drops on non-resinous oil
before installing it.
Drop the rewind spring/housing assembly (with the bot-
tom plate area
up)
into the fan shroud recess. If the spring
should
pop out
of its housing during installation re-insert it
in
its housing starting from outside to inside in counter-
clockwise direction. Reassemble the rope rotor as above.
Tensioning
the rewind spring
Tensioning the rewind spring
With the starter
rope (5) fully extended,
make a loop in the
rope
between
the
rotor
(2) and fan
housing and use it to
turn the
rope rotor
(2) six full revolutions
clockwise.
Hold
the rope rotor steady in
this position. Pull out
and straight-
en
the twisted rope
(5). Now release
the
rope rotor gradu-
ally and
allow spring force
to wind the
starter
rope
fully
onto the rope rotor.
The rewind spring
is tensioned correctly if
the starter grip
is held firmly in place against the
starter housing by spring
tension
and does
not
droop. If more
tension
is required
add one more turn on the rope rotor.
The
rope
rotor
should
be able to be
rotated by at least one-half an
extra turn with
the rope pulled
all the way out. If
spring tension is too
great pull out the
starter rope, hold the
rotor firmly by
hand, and remove one turn
of the
rope.
A starter
spring that is
tensioned too heavily will
probably
break.
Re-install the
fan shroud with
the retaining screws
secu-
rely
tightened.
