Disassembly
WARNING: Spring Under Tension!
Do not remove the center screw from starter until the
spring tension is released. Removing the center screw before
releasing spring tension, or improper starter disassembly,
can cause the sudden and potentially dangerous release of
the spring. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure
personal safety and proper starter disassembly. Make sure
adequate face protection is worn by all persons in the area.
1. Release recoil spring tension by:
CS4, CS6: Loosen the center screw approximately
1 turn. Rotate the pulley against spring tension
until the pulley rope hole with knot is adjacent to
outlet in housing. Lift up the slack in rope
between pulley and housing, slowly allow the
pulley to unwind, releasing the spring tension.
Count the number of rotations for reassembly
later.
CS8.5-12: Rotate the pulley against spring
tension, until the cutout in pulley is adjacent to
outlet in housing. Lift up the slack in rope
through the cutout and slowly allow pulley to
unwind, releasing spring tension. Count the
number of rotations for reassembly later.
2. Unscrew the center screw and lift off the drive
plate. The center screw will be captured by the
clip around the shoulder on backside of plate.
3. Note the positions of the pawls and pawl springs
(CS8.5-12 only) before removing. Remove parts
from pulley.
4. Carefully inspect the components for wear,
cracks, and/or damage. Replace all worn or
damaged components. Use only genuine Kohler
replacement parts as specified in the parts
manuals. All components shown in Figure 7-1 are
available as service parts. Do not use nonstandard
parts.
5. Install pawl springs (CS8.5-12 only) and pawls
onto pawl studs of pulley. All parts must be dry.

6. Position the drive plate over the pawls, aligning
the actuating slots in the plate with the raised
sections on each drive pawl. Torque the center
screw to 5-6 N·m (44-53 in. lb.). Rotate the pulley
by hand and check operation. See Figure 7-7.
