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.
:
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.
