English
Tensioning the rewind spring
: Make a loop in the starter rope and
use it to turn the rope rotor six full
revolutions in the direction of the
arrow.
: Hold the rotor steady.
: Pull out and straighten the twisted
rope.
: Release the 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: Add one more turn on rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
When starter rope is fully extended it
must still be possible to rotate the rotor
at least another half turn. If this is not the
case, the spring is overtensioned and
could break.
: Take one turn of rope off the rotor.

Replacing a broken rewind spring
: Remove the rope rotor.
The bits of spring in the fan housing
might still be under tension and
could fly apart when you take them
out of the housing. To reduce risk of
injury, wear eye and face protection
and work gloves.
: Use a screwdriver to carefully
remove the parts of the spring from
the housing.
: Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
: Place the new spring with retaining
frame in position in the fan housing
– the anchor loop must engage the
lug.
: 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.
: Reinstall the rope rotor, tension the
rewind spring, fit the fan housing
and secure in position.
