Assembly
1. Replace the starter rope if removed by
inserting one end through the hole in the side
of the pulley and tying a left hand knot near
the rope end. Pull the knot into the squared
area and wind the rope counterclockwise
(viewed from the pulley bottom) on the starter
pulley.
2. Place the pulley on the housing center leg,
align the end of recoil spring and the notch in
the pulley and push down until seated.
3. Insert the starter dogs on the pulley pegs with
the flat side away from the pulley, place the
brake spring and starter dog spring on the
pulley. The starter dogs must be free to retract
into the pulley pocket.
4. Place the starter dog retainer on the center
leg, hook the end of the dog spring into the
hole in the retainer, press down and turn 1/2
a turn clockwise to line up the notches to the
starter dogs, add the nylon washer, metal
washer, lock washer, and hex nut. Tighten the
hex nut to 40 inch pounds (4.5 Nm) torque.
NOTE: Type II - Apply blue Loctite to the
center screw and torque to 70 in pounds
(8 Nm).
5. Wind the pulley counterclockwise 4-5 turns,
thread the rope through the starter housing
hole, and place a temporary knot in the rope
leaving at least one foot of rope length.
6. Slide the starter handle on the end of the rope
and secure using a left hand knot. Remove
the temporary knot and allow the rope to
retract.
