213BA022 KN English 2 3 4 4 N Fit the pawls (4) in the rotor and fit the washer (3) on the starter post. N Use a screwdriver or suitable pliers to install the spring clip (2) on the starter post and engage it on the pawls' pegs - the spring clip must point clockwise as shown in the illustration. Tensioning the rewind spring 001BA096 KN The starter grip must locate firmly in the rope bushing. If the grip droops to one side: Add one more turn on the rope rotor to increase spring tension. When the starter rope is fully extended it must still be possible to rotate the rotor another half turn. If this is not the case, the spring is overtensioned and could break. N Take one turn of the rope off the rotor. N Fit the fan housing and shroud. Models with ElastoStart N Set the Master Control lever to the stop position (0) and push the remaining rope into the grip until the nipple is flush with the top of the grip. Replacing a broken rewind spring N Place the new spring with frame in position in the fan housing - the anchor loop (arrow) must engage the lug in the housing. N Apply suitable tools (screwdriver, punch, etc.) to the recesses and push the spring into its seat in the fan housing - it slips out of the frame in this process. N Fit the rope rotor and tension the rewind spring. N Fit the fan housing and shroud. N 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. N Hold the rotor steady. Pull out and straighten the twisted rope. N Let go of the rotor. N Release the rope slowly so that it winds onto the rotor. 213BA021 KN N Remove the rope rotor as described in "Replacing a Broekn Starter Rope". The bits of spring must still be under tension and could fly apart when you take them out of the housing. To reduce the risk of injury, wear face protection and work gloves. N Use a screwdriver to carefully remove the parts of the spring from the housing. N Lubricate the new spring with a few drops of non-resinous oil. 46 MS 362
