Recoil starter
The recoil starter starts the engine.
In certain operating situations, e.g. when ramming in posts and grounding rods, it can be advantageous
to change the traction direction of the recoil starter, i.e. the position of the recoil starter should be different
to the standard position. In such cases, consult the Service Department of your Wacker Neuson
representative.
