will fall and the spring will be released from
the housing, but the three legs will contain
the spring and prevent it from traveling
across the room. If the spring was not
released from the housing, the only safe
method is to jar the three legs on the floor
to release the spring. Unwind the rope out
of the pulley groove, and then pull it free.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING
If the rope was broken and the spring is
bent backward, as shown in the accompany-
ing illustration, it is a simple matter to bend
the spring end back to its normal position.
The next illustration clearly shows a spring
end properly positioned in the housing.
Wash all parts except the rope in solvent
and then blow them dry with compressed
air.
Remove any trace of corrosion and wipe
all metal parts with an oil dampened cloth.
Inspect the rope. Replace the rope if it
appears to be weak or frayed. If the rope is
frayed, check the hole through which the
rope passes for rough edges or burrs. Re-
move the rough edges or burrs with a file,
and polish the surface
until it is smooth.
The rope on this unit broke, causing the spring
to
rewind with incredible speed. The end
of
the spring was
bent back in the wrong direction.
Inspect the starter spring end loops. Re-
place the spring if it is weak, corroded or
cracked. Check the spring pin located at
the back side of the pulley to be sure it is
straight and solid.
Check the inside surface of the housing
and remove any burrs.
Check the condition of the pawl springs
to be sure they are not stretched out of
shape. The end of each spring should be
bent back toward the coil of the spring.
Inspect the pawls for wear and that the
edges are not rounded.
Inspect the hub center locating pin to be
sure it is straight and tight.
STARTER ASSEMBLING
GOOD WORDS
The accompanying illustration shows a
new starter spring as it is purchased. Note
how the spring is held wound with "hog
rings". The spring MUST be released to its
full extended position before it can be in-
stalled. Therefore, use care and remove the
"hog rings" and allow the spring to unwind
until it is a straight
piece of spring steel.
SAFETY WORD
Wear a good pair of gloves while unwind-
ing and installing the spring. The spring will
develop tension and the edges of the spr ing
steel are sharp. The gloves will prevent
cuts on your hands and fingers.
A new spring as it appears direct from the marine
store. The hog rings must be CAREFULLY removed, as
described in the text.
