Tensioning the recoil spring
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 an 
additional 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all 
the way out.
Changing a broken recoil spring
Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading 
Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by 
tapping the pulley lightly with its inside face 
downwards against a work bench or the like. If the 
spring pops out during fitting, wind it up again, working 
from the outside in towards centre.
Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley 
and tension the recoil spring.
Fitting the starter
To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place 
the starter in position against the crankcase. Then 
slowly release the starter cord so that the pulley 
engages with the pawls.
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust 
and dirt in order to avoid:
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover. 
When refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly 
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or 
shaking it.
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in 
water and detergent.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be 
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced 
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter 
must always be replaced.
