Replacing the starter cable /
Replacing the return spring pack
Unscrew four screws (1).
Remove fan housing (2).
Remove the air guide (3) from the fan housing.
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! Do not unscrew screw (7) if the
return spring is under tension.
If the starter cable is to be replaced although it is not broken,
it will be necessary to first de-tension the cable drum return
spring (13).
To do this, use the grip to pull the cable all the way out of the
fan housing.
Hold the cable drum with one hand, and with the other push the
cable into the space (6).
Carefully let the drum turn until the return spring is no longer
under tension.
Unscrew screw (7) and remove washer (8).
Carefully remove the cable drum.
Remove any cable pieces.
Thread a new cable (dia. 0.14" (3.5 mm), length 38.6" (980
mm)) as shown in the illustration (don't forget the washer (10))
and knot both ends as shown.
Pull knot (11) into the cable drum (5).
Pull knot (12) into the starter grip (9).
Put the drum on its spindle and turn it slightly until the return
spring engages.
Screw in and tighten screw (7) and washer (8).
Guide the cable into the space (6) on the drum and use the
cable to turn the drum two turns clockwise.
Hold the cable drum with your left hand and with your right hand
untwist the cable, pull it tight and hold it.
Carefully release the cable drum. The spring will wind the cable
around the drum.
Repeat three or four times. The starter grip should now be held
upright on the fan housing.
NOTE: With the cable pulled all the way out, it must still be
possible to turn the pulley another 1/4 turn against the return
spring.
CAUTION: Danger of injury! Secure the cable grip when
pulled out! It will whip back if the cable pulley is released
by accident.
Replacing the return spring pack
Disassemble the fan housing and cable drum (see above).
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! The return spring can pop out!
Always wear eye protection and protective gloves!
Lightly tap the fan housing on a wooden surface with the entire
surface of the hollow side, and hold it down. Now lift the fan
housing carefully and in small steps. This will allow the return
spring pack (13), which should now have fallen out, to relax in
a controlled manner if the return spring has popped out of the
plastic pack.
Carefully insert a new return spring pack and push it in until it
clicks. Install the cable drum with washer (8) and bolt (7).
Tension the spring (see above).
Mounting the fan housing
Insert the air guide (3) in the fan housing so that the two
recesses (4) engage.
Position the fan housing against the housing, press against it
lightly and pull the starter grip until the starter engages.
Tighten screws (1).
