The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to 
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The 
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may 
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible 
material.

A muffler equipped with a catalytic converter significantly 
reduces the amount of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen 
oxides (NO) and aldehydes in the exhaust fumes. Carbon 
monoxide (CO), which is poisonous and odourless, is not 
however reduced! Consequently, never work in an 
enclosed or badly ventilated area. Good air circulation 
should always prevail when working in snowy hollows, 
ravines or in confined conditions.

•

Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the 
crankcase and remove the starter.

•

Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the 
notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring 
by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

Remove the clip in the centre of the pulley. Remove the 
spacer and the pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord 
onto the pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord 
onto the pulley. Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so 
that the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the spacer and 
secure the pulley with the clip. Insert the starter cord 
through the hole in the starter housing and the starter 
handle. Make a secure knot in the end of the starter cord.

•

Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and 
turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.

Note! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a 
further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the 
way out.
