then turn further clockwise to the start

slowly until
resistance can be felt on
compression, continue to pull until
the resistance ceases.
(b) Allow the rope to recoil slowly then
pull handle sharply, the engine will
then start. Failure to do this may
result in the rope being broken if a
backfire occurs.
IMPORTANT: The starter rope should never be
allowed to recoil sharply into its housing. The
rope should recoil slowly under control to avoid
breakage or damage.
Broken starter ropes should be replaced - NOT
REPAIRED.
