Tensioning the recoil spring
• Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of the
pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around the
centre of the starter pulley.
• Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the
spring. Repeat the procedure once more, but this time
with four turns.
• Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct home
position after tensioning the spring.
• Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position by
pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter pulley with
your thumb and check that you can turn the pulley at least
a further half turn.
Changing a broken recoil spring
WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound
!
up in the starter housing it is under tension
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and
cause personal injury.
Always be careful when changing the recoil
spring or the starter cord. Always wear
protective goggles.
• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the
pulley.
• Carefully lift the cover that protects the spring. Bear in
mind that the return spring lies tensioned in the starter
housing.
• Carefully remove the spring using pilers.
MAINTENANCE
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and
tension the recoil spring.
Fitting the starter
• To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with
the pawls.
• Tighten the screws.
