Repair instructions

When the starter cord is worn and must be replaced, 

the tension in the return spring must be released. 

Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the 

notch on the outside of the starter pulley. Release 

the tension on the return spring by allowing the 

starter pulley to rotate slowly backwards.

Pull the starter cord up into the notch in the starter 

pulley and turn the pulley about 3 turns clockwise. 

Check that the pulley can be turned at least a fur-

ther 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the 

way out. See figure 4.

Stretch the line with the handle. Remove your 

thumb and let the cord spin back. See figure 5.

When the starter pulley is removed, insert a new 

starter cord and attach it to the starter pulley. 

Thread the other end of the starter cord through 

the hole in the starter housing and starter handle 

and tie a double knot on the cord. Wind approx. 3 

turns of the starter cord on the starter pulley. Turn 

the starter pulley until it latches into the correct po-

sition. Tighten the screw at the centre of the starter 

pulley, at a tightening torque of 2-3 Nm.

•  Clean and check carefully all components. Worn 

or damaged parts must be replaced. Lubricate 

the return spring with a light oil.

Loosen the screw in the centre of the pulley and 

remove the pulley. See figure 3a.
