Tensioning The Recoil Spring - Husqvarna 340 Operator's Manual

• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the
drive disc, drive disc spring and the pulley. Insert and
secure a new starter cord in the starter pulley. Wind
approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the starter pulley. Fit
the starter pulley so that the end of the recoil spring hooks
into the starter pulley. Now assemble the drive disc spring,
drive disc and the bolt in the centre of the pulley. Carry the
starter cord through the hole in the starter housing and the
starter handle. Tie a good knot on the starter cord.

Tensioning the recoil spring

• Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn the
starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Note! Check that the pulley can be turned an additional 1/
2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.
