Tensioning the rewind spring
: Make a loop in the unwound starter
rope and use it to turn the rope rotor
six full revolutions in the direction of
the arrow.
: Hold the rotor steady.
: Pull out and straighten the twisted
rope.
: Let go of the rotor.
: Release the rope slowly so that it
winds onto the rotor.
The starter grip must locate firmly in the
rope guide bushing. If the grip droops to
one side: Add one more turn on rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
When starter rope is fully extended it
must still be possible to rotate the rotor
at least another half turn. If this is not the
case, the spring is overtensioned and
could break.
: Take one turn of rope off the rotor.

Replacing a broken rewind spring
The bits of spring in the fan housing
might still be under tension and
could fly apart when you take them
out of the housing. To reduce risk of
injury, wear eye and face protection
and work gloves.
: Remove the rope rotor.
: Use a screwdriver to carefully
remove the parts of the spring from
the housing.
: Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
: Place the new spring with retaining
frame in position in the fan housing
– the anchor loop must engage the
lug.
: Apply suitable tools (screwdriver,
punch, etc.) to the recesses
(arrows) and push the spring into its
seat – it slips out of the retaining
frame in this process.
: Reinstall the rope rotor, tension the
rewind spring, fit the fan housing
and tighten down the screws firmly.
