Tensioning the rewind spring
: 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 tight:
pull out the twisted rope and
untangle it.
: Release the rope rotor.
: Slowly let go of rope so that it winds
onto the rotor.
The starter grip must be drawn firmly
into the rope guide bush. If it tips
sideways: increase the spring tension by
another turn.
: It must be possible to turn the rope
rotor on another half-turn when the
rope has been drawn out
completely.
If not, the spring has been tensioned
too tightly and may break. Remove
one turn of the rope from the rotor.
: Refit the starter cover.
: Press the remaining rope into the
handle.
