Tensioning the Rewind Spring
:
Make a loop in the unwound starter
rope and use it to turn the rope rotor
seven full revolutions in the
direction of the arrow.
:
Hold the rotor steady – pull out and
straighten the twisted rope.
:
Release the rope rotor.
:
Let go of rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor.
The starter grip must locate firmly in the
rope guide bushing. If the grip droops to
one side: Increase spring tension by
adding one more turn.
When the starter rope is fully extended it
must still be possible to rotate the rotor
another half turn. If this is not the case,
the spring is overtensioned and could
break.
:
Take one turn of rope off the rotor in
such a case.
Replacing a Broken Rewind
Spring
:
Remove the rope rotor.
:
Remove the spring housing and
parts of the spring.
The bits of spring might still be
under tension and could fly apart
when you take them out of the fan
cover. To reduce risk of injury, wear
eye and face protection and work
gloves.
:
Use a screwdriver to carefully
remove the parts of the spring.
:
Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
