Replacing a Broken Rewind Spring
Two types of replacement springs are
available from the factory:
A ready-to-fit rewind spring secured
with a wire retainer.
A rope rotor with pre-installed
rewind spring.
Installing the ready-to-fit rewind spring
N Lubricate the spring with a few
drops of resin-free oil see "Special
Accessories" do not open the wire
retainer!
N Carefully remove the parts of the old
spring from the starter cover and
rope rotor.
N Insert the new rewind spring in the
rope rotor and, at the same time,
engage the outer spring loop in the
rotor’s recess – the wire retainer
slips off in this process. If the spring
pops out and uncoils, refit it in the
counterclockwise direction, starting
outside and working inwards.
N Go to "Installing the Rope Rotor".
