1. To remove the spring force from the return spring,
pull out the starter rope approximately 12 in/30 cm.
Hold the starter pulley with your thumb and put the
starter rope in the notch on the starter pulley.
2. Let the starter pulley rotate slowly and wind up the
starter rope on the metal sleeve.
3. Remove the starter rope from the starter pulley.
6.1.2 To attach the new starter rope
1. Put one end of the new starter rope from the top
through the hole in the starter pulley. Then pull it out
through the notch for the starter rope. Pull out most
of the starter rope but keep some to make a knot.
2. Put the other end through the cover and on through
the handle. Make 2 knots as in the illustration.
6.1.3 To load the return spring
1. Put the starter rope in the notch.
2. Wind the starter rope 4 turns around the hub.
3. Pull out the starter rope handle to make the starter
rope come off the hub.
4. Release the starter rope. Let it wind on the starter
pulley. Do it again with 3 turns of rope around the
hub.

return spring is not an end stop. It must be possible
to turn the starter pulley half a turn or more before
the spring stops the movement.
