11. The recoil sheave catch on the recoil sheave must interlock with the recoil spring for the recoil to function properly.
12. Install the recoil sheave onto the recoil housing.
13. With a slight downward pressure, rotate the recoil sheave counterclockwise to engage the spring into the catch on the
recoil sheave. When the spring is properly positioned on the recoil sheave, resistance will be present while winding the
recoil sheave in a counterclockwise rotation.
14. Install the friction plate spring onto the friction plate. Lubricate the friction plate with 2‑4‑C with PTFE.
