: Pull out a short length of starter
rope (1).
: Make a loop in the unwound
starter rope and use it to turn the
rope rotor six full revolutions in
the direction of the arrow.
Hold the rope rotor steady since it
will otherwise spin back and may
damage the rewind spring.
: Pull out the twisted rope (1) in
direction of starter grip and
straighten it out.
: Keep the rope (1) under tension
and slowly release the rope rotor.
The starter grip must sit firmly in the
rope guide bushing.
If it droops to one side: Tension the
rewind spring by one additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended it must still be possible to
rotate the rope rotor another half
turn. If this is not the case, spring
tension must be reduced
– it might otherwise break.
To reduce spring tension:
Hold the rope rotor steady and take
one turn off the rope.
