Disassembly
WARNING: Spring Under Tension!
Do not remove the center screw from starter until the
spring tension is released. Removing the center screw
before releasing spring tension, or improper starter
disassembly, can cause the sudden and potentially
dangerous release of the spring. Follow these
instructions carefully to ensure personal safety and
proper starter disassembly. Make sure adequate face
protection is worn by all persons in the area.
1. Release recoil spring tension by:
CS4, CS6: Loosen the center screw
approximately 1 turn. Rotate the pulley against
spring tension until the pulley rope hole with knot
is adjacent to outlet in housing. Lift up the slack in
rope between pulley and housing, slowly allow the
pulley to unwind, releasing the spring tension.
Count the number of rotations for reassembly
later.
CS8.5-12: Rotate the pulley against spring
tension, until the cutout in pulley is adjacent to
outlet in housing. Lift up the slack in rope through
the cutout and slowly allow pulley to unwind,
releasing spring tension. Count the number of
rotations for reassembly later.
Figure 7-6.
6. Position the drive plate over the pawls, aligning
the actuating slots in the plate with the raised
sections on each drive pawl. Torque the center
screw to 5-6 N·m (44-53 in. lbs.). Rotate the
pulley by hand and check operation. See Figure
