Tensioning the rewind spring
: Make a loop in the starter rope and
use it to turn the rope rotor six full
revolutions in the direction of the
arrow.
: Hold the rotor steady – pull out and
straighten the twisted rope.
: Release the rotor – let go of rope
slowly so that it winds onto the rotor.
The starter grip must locate firmly in the
rope guide bush. If the grip droops to
one side: Add one more turn on rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
When starter rope is fully extended it
must still be possible to rotate the rotor
at least another half turn. If this is not the
case, the spring is overtensioned and
could break. Take one turn of rope off the
rotor.
: Fit the fan housing.
Replacing a broken rewind spring
: Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
: Remove the rope rotor as described
in "Replacing the starter rope".
: Remove the spring housing and the
remaining parts of the spring.
: Fit the new spring housing. The
bottom plate must face upward. Slip
the outer spring loop over the lug.
: Fit the rope rotor, tension the rewind
spring, fit the fan housing and
secure in position.
If the spring pops out of the housing
during installation: Refit it in the
counterclockwise direction, starting
outside and working inward.
