Tensioning

• Pull out the starter rope, place it in
the recess (1) in the rope rotor and
form a loop (2).
• Hold a short length of starter rope
near the rope rotor and turn the rope
rotor six times counterclockwise with
it.
• Hold the rope rotor.
• Pull out and untangle the twisted
rope at the starter handle.
- Use the starter handle to keep
the starter rope taut.
- Let the rope rotor go and slowly
pay back the starter rope so that it
is rewound on the rope rotor.
Note: The rewind spring is correctly
tensioned when the starter handle
sits securely in the rope guide bush
without tipping to the side. If this is not
the case, the spring must be tensioned
another turn.
The rope rotor must still be able to turn
at least one-half turn before reaching
the maximum spring travel when the
rope has been pulled out completely.
If this is not possible, draw out the
starter rope hold the rope rotor and
remove one turn of the rope.
The spring may break if it is too
tightly tensioned.
