- Remove the rope rotor -
- Take remaining pieces of rewind
spring out of rope rotor and star-
ter cover.
•
Engage the outer spring loop in
the recess and fit the rewind
spring counterclockwise in the
rope rotor, starting outside and
working inwards.

and use it to turn the rope rotor
five full turns counterclockwise.
•

•
Pull out the rope with the starter
grip and straighten it out.
- Hold the starter grip firmly to
keep the rope tensioned.
- Let go of the rope rotor and
slowly release the starter rope
so that it can rewind properly.
Note: The rewind spring is correct-
ly tensioned when the starter grip
sits firmly in the rope guide bush
without drooping to one side. If
this is not the case, tension the
spring by one additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended, it must still be possible
to rotate the rope rotor at least
another half turn before maximum
spring tension is reached. If this is
not the case, pull the rope out,
hold the rope rotor steady and
take off one turn of the rope.
Do not overtension the rewind
spring as this will cause it to break.
- Fit the support plate -
- Install the rewind starter.
