English / USA Replacing a broken rewind spring : Remove the rope rotor as described under "Replacing Starter Rope and Rewind Spring". The bits of spring might still be under tension and could fly apart when you take them out of the housing. To reduce risk of injury, wear eye and face protection and work gloves. : Remove spring housing and the parts of the spring. : Lubricate the new spring with a few drops of non-resinous oil. : Place the new spring housing on the recesses (arrows) - bottom plate must face up. : Push the spring housing into the starter cover. : Install the rope rotor as described under "Tensioning the rewind spring". : If the spring pops out of the housing during installation: Refit it in the counterclockwise direction, starting outside and working inward. Tensioning the rewind spring : Make a loop in the unwound 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. 249BA018 KN 249BA016 KN 32 HL 100
