Tensioning the rewind spring
N Make a loop in the unwound starter
rope and use it to turn the rope rotor
five full revolutions in the direction of
the arrow
N Hold the rope rotor tight: pull out the
twisted rope and untangle it
N Release the rope rotor
N Slowly let go of rope so that it winds
onto the rotor
The starter grip must be drawn firmly
into the rope guide bush. If it tips
sideways: increase the spring tension by
another turn.
N It must be possible to turn the rope
rotor on another half-turn when the
rope has been drawn out
completely. If not, the spring has
been tensioned too tightly and may
break. Remove one turn of the rope
from the rotor.
N Mount the fan housing on the
crankcase
N Move the Master Control lever to the
stop position 0
N Press the remaining rope into the
handle until the nippel (6) is flush
with the handle
Replacing broken rewind spring
N Remove the rope rotor as described
for "Replacing the starter rope".
N Remove parts of spring
N Apply a few drops of resin-free oil to
the new replacement spring – do not
open the wire loop (retainer)
N Insert the rewind spring – engage
outer spring loop over the lug – this
will simultaneously remove the wire
loop
N Reinstall the rope rotor, tension the
rewind spring, replace the fan
housing and screw it into place
If the spring has popped out: refit it –
working counterclockwise – from the
outside inwards

The broken pieces of spring may
still be under tension and can
spring apart unexpectedly on
removal from the housing – risk
of injury! Wear a face shield and
protective gloves.
