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
guide 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
at least 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.
