• Guide rope inside the pulley, then through pulley hole.
Figure 23.
• Wrap rope counterclockwise
around the pulley ratchet
and tuck the loose end back under the rope, leaving
about a 1 inch tail next to the retainer rib. The end of the
rope should not go more than 1/4" past the end of the
retainer rib.
• Install and tighten the retainer screw/washer. Figure 24.
NOTE -
Do not overtighten the retainer screw. Overtight-
ening the screw can cause the screw post to strip out.
Tighten the screw until the bottom of the washer either
(1) is snug against the rope or (2) contacts the top of the
screw post.
• Pull the rope tightly around the pulley ratchet.
• Slightly pull the rope to relieve the pressure on the hex
wrench. Remove the hex wrench and allow the rope to
rewind slowly.
• Reassemble the pulley housing to the engine. Tighten
screws securely.
NOTE -
Be sure the rubber o-ring is installed onto the
pulley housing. See Figure 20.
