:
Thread the rope through the top of 
the guide bushing (6), pull it through 
the rotor (7) and secure it with a 
simple overhand knot. 
:
Coat rope rotor bearing bore with 
resin-free oil.
:
Slip rotor over the starter post (8) – 
turn it back and forth to engage 
anchor loop of the rewind spring.
:
Fit the pawls (4) in the rope rotor.
:
Fit the washer (3) on the starter 
post.
:
Use a screwdriver or suitable pliers 
to install the spring clip (2) on the 
starter post and engage it on the 
pawls’ pegs – the spring clip must 
point clockwise as shown in the 
illustration.
Tensioning the Rewind Spring
:
Make a loop in the 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.
When the starter rope is fully extended it 
must still be possible to rotate the rotor 
another half turn. If this is not the case, 
the spring is overtensioned and could 
break. Take one turn of rope off the rotor 
in such a case.
:
Fit the fan cover on the fan housing.
