N Refit the pawl (4) in the rope rotor
N Place the washer (3) on the starter
post
N Press the spring clip (2) on to the

Tensioning the rewind spring
N 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
N
Hold the rope rotor tight
N Pull out the twisted rope and
untangle it
N Release the rope rotor
N
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.
When the starter rope is fully extended it
must be possible to rotate the rotor at
least another half turn. If this is not
possible, the spring is overtensioned –
risk of breakage!
N Remove one turn of the rope from
the rotor
Replacing broken rewind spring
N
Remove the rope rotor
The broken pieces of spring may
still be under tension and can
spring apart unexpectedly on
removal from the housing – risk of
injury! Wear a face shield and
protective gloves.
N
Carefully pry out the broken pieces
of spring with a screwdriver
N Apply a few drops of non-resinous
oil to the new replacement spring
N
Depending on version, position the
replacement spring with frame in the
fan housing – the anchor loop must
be located over the retaining lug in
the housing
