Installing the spring clip
back of the rope rotor. Rotate the rotor back and forth until
the slotted area engages the starter rewind spring anchor
loop.
Now insert pawl in rope rotor and press spring clip onto
starter post with a suitable pair
fo 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
together 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 of non-resinous oil
before installing
it.
Drop the rewind spring/housing assembly (with the bottom
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
Rewind the starter rope by turning the rotor in counter-
clockwise direction until the starter grip has reached a
distance of about 20
cm (8 in) from the fan shroud. Form a
loop
in the remaining rope next to the rim of the rope rotor.
Use this loop to turn the rope rotor clockwise by three full
revolutions and hold the rope rotor in place by hand. Pull
out and straighten the twisted rope. Gradually release the
rope rotor and pull
in the starter rope until it is fully re-
wound on the rope rotor
by spring force.
The rewind spring
is tensioned correctly if the starter grip
is held firmly in"f)lace against the starter housing by spring
tension and does not droop.
!f 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 rewind spring that is tensioned too heavily will pro-
bably break.
Re-install the fan shroud with the three retaining screws
securely tightened.
