RECOIL GUARD FOAM COVER
INSTALLATION
The recoil foam cover slides over the starter
handle and attaches to the recoil guard with
Velcro. See Figure 9.
NOTE: The recoil guard foam cover is not
necessary for operation during the non-winter
months.
IMPORTANT: When using the unit in the
winter months the cover must be installed.
The foam prevents snow from getting into the
recoil guard and freezing the recoil pawls.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep the recoil foam
cover clean and clear of snow and debris at
all times. See Clean Recoil Guard Foam
Cover on page 17.
