MAINTENANCE

Starter

Changing a broken or worn starter cord

• Loosen the ﬁlter and cylinder cover.

• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the

crankcase and remove the starter.

• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm (12 inches) and hook it

into the notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil

spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

• Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check

that the return spring works. Insert the new starter cord

through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord

pulley.

• Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as

illustrated. Tighten the fastening well and ensure that the

free end is as short as possible. Secure the end of the

starter cord in the starter handle.

• Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of the

pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around the

centre of the starter pulley.

• Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the

spring. Repeat the procedure once more, but this time

with four turns.

• Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct home

position after tensioning the spring.

• Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position by

pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter pulley with

your thumb and check that you can turn the pulley at least

a further half turn.

Tensioning the recoil spring

• Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn

the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.

CAUTION! Check that the pulley can be turned an

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

way out.

WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound

up in the starter housing it is under tension

and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and

cause personal injury.

Always be careful when changing the recoil

spring or the starter cord. Always wear

protective goggles.
