illustration.

N
Let go of the rotor.
N Release the rope slowly so that it
winds onto the rotor.
The starter grip must locate firmly in the
rope bushing. If the grip droops to one
side: Add one more turn on the rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
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.
N Take one turn of the rope off the
rotor.
Replacing a broken rewind spring
N Remove the rope rotor.
The bits of spring might still be
under tension and could fly apart
when you take them out of the
housing. Wear face protection and
work gloves.
N Use a screwdriver to carefully
remove the parts of the spring from
the housing.
N Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
N Place the new spring with retaining
frame (note the different versions) in
position in the fan housing – the
anchor loop must engage the lug in
the housing.
N Apply suitable tools (screwdriver,
punch, etc.) to the recesses
(arrows) and push the spring into its
seat – it slips out of the retaining
frame in this process.
N Reinstall the rope rotor, tension the
rewind spring, fit the fan housing
and secure it in position.
