back of the rope rotor. Rotate the rotor back and forth until
the slotted area engages the starter rewind spring anchor
loop.
Now insert pawl in rope rotor and press spring clip onto
starter post with a suitable pair of pliers, making sure that
the spring clip engages on the pawl's guide pin and points
it in the clockwise direction. Then tension rewind spring.
Replacing a broken rewind spring
Remove the rope rotor as above. The spring housing
together with the rewind spring can then be removed from
the fan housing by turning the fan housing over and let it
drop out of the recess in the fan housing. A replacement
spring and spring housing are supplied as an assembly.
Lubricate the spring with a few drops of non-resinous oil
before installing it.
Drop the rewind spring/housing assembly (with the bottom
plate area up) into the fan shroud recess. If the spring
should pop out of its housing during installation re-insert it
in its housing starting from outside to inside in
counterclockwise direction. Reassemble the rope rotor as
above.
Tensioning the rewind spring
Rewind the starter rope by turning the rotor in
counterclockwise direction until the starter grip has
reached a distance of about 20 cm (8 in) from the fan
shroud. Form a loop in the remaining rope next to the rim
of the rope rotor. Use this loop to turn the rope rotor
clockwise by three full revolutions and hold the rope rotor
in place by hand. Pull out and straighten the twisted rope.
Gradually release the rope rotor and pull in the starter
rope until it is fully rewound on the rope rotor by spring
force.
The rewind spring is tensioned correctly if the starter grip
is held firmly in place against the starter housing by spring
tension and does not droop. If more tension is required
add one more turn on the rope rotor. The rope rotor should
be able to be rotated by at least one-half an extra turn with
the rope pulled all the way out. If spring tension is too
great pull out the starter rope, hold the rotor firmly by
hand, and remove one turn of the rope.
A rewind spring that is tensioned too heavily will
probably break.
Re-install the fan shroud with the three retaining screws
securely tightened.
