Assembly
If the return spring has, despite all the
precautions, fl own out or if you intend to fi t
a new spring proceed as follows:
1. The lies tensioned with a sturdy steel
wire in shrink wrap.
Cut the package open very carefully in
order to prevent the spring from pop-
ping out.
2. Position the spring in the starter hous-
ing.
3. Keep the spring in place using one of
your thumbs.
4. Use a screwdriver to fi rst push the
spring down by its attachment in the
starter housing and then on the dia-
metrically opposed side so that the
steel wire (A) glides off of the spring.
Lubricate the return spring and position
the starter pulley. Lubricate the return spring and the
starter pulley’s stub axle with cold resis-
tant grease or thin oil.
Move the starter cord through the guide
in the starter housing (A).
Guide the free end of the return spring
(B) in towards the cut-out in the hub of
the starter pulley and slide the starter
pulley down into the starter housing.
Fit the screw(C).
Fit the starter handle.
Fit the starter handle on the cord.
Thread the starter cord through the
handle, spring, support washer (A) and
guiding sleeve (B).
Tie a small knot in the starter cord and
pull it into the guiding sleeve.
Assemble a new starter cord and wind it 4
turns clockwise around the starter pulley. Attach the new starter cord.
Ensure that the knot is as small as pos-
sible and enters the cut-out on the starter
pulley.
Wind the cord 4 turns clockwise around
the starter pulley.
