Tensioning the rewind spring
Make a loop
in
the starter rope and
use it to turn the rope rotor seven
full revolutions counterclockwise.
Hold the rotor steady - straighten
the twisted rope - release the rotor.
Let go of rope slowly so that
it
winds onto the rotor.
The
starter grip must be firmly seated
in
the rope guide bush.
If grip droops to one side:
Add one more turn on rope rotor
to increase spring tension.
When
starter rope is fully extended it
must be possible to rotate the rotor
'-
another half turn.
If this is not the case, the spring
is overtensioned and could break.
Take one turn of rope off the rotor.
Refit and secure the starter cover
and machine support.
