– Hold the starter grip firmly to keep
the rope (1) tensioned.
: Release the rotor and let go of
the rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor.
The rewind spring is correctly
tensioned when the starter grip sits
firmly in the rope guide bushing
(arrow) without drooping to one
side. If this is not the case, the
spring must be tensioned by one
additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended, it must still be possible to
rotate the rope rotor at least another
half turn before the maximum spring
tension is reached, otherwise the
spring tension must be reduced.
To reduce the spring tension:
Pull the rope out, hold the rope rotor
steady and take off one turn of the
rope.
Note:
Do not overtension the rewind
spring otherwise it may break.
