Installing unwound rewind spring
If the rewind spring has popped out,
refit it in the fan housing as follows:
– Arrange the rewind spring (1) in
its original position.
: Fit the anchor loop in its
seat (arrow) in the fan housing.
: Fit the rewind spring (1)
clockwise in the housing, holding
the windings steady in the
process.
The procedure is otherwise the
same as that for installing a new
rewind spring.
