housing. To reduce risk of injury,
wear eye and face protection and
work gloves.
:
Remove spring housing and the
parts of the spring.
:
Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.

Tensioning the rewind spring
:
Make a loop in the unwound
starter rope and use it to turn
the rope rotor six full revolutions in
the direction of the arrow.
:
Hold the rotor steady – pull out and
straighten the twisted rope.
:
Release the rope rotor.
:
Let go of rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor.
:
The starter grip must locate firmly in
the rope guide bushing. If the grip
droops to one side: Increase spring
tension by adding one more turn.
