MAINTENANCE

Replacing a broken or worn starter cord

• Loosen the filter cover and

cylinder cover.

• Loosen the bolts that hold

the starter against the
crankcase and lift off the
starter unit.

• Pull out the cord approx. 30

cm and lift it out of the cut-
out in the starter-pulley’s
periphery. Reset the recoil
spring by allowing the pulley
to slowly rotate backwards.

• Loosen the screw in the

centre of the starter-pulley
and lift off the pulley. Insert
and secure the starter cord
in the starter pulley. Wind
on approx. 3 turns of the
cord on the pulley. Fit the
pulley on the recoil spring
so that the end of the recoil
spring hooks on the pulley.
Fit the screw in the centre of
the pulley. Thread the
starter cord through the hole
in the starter housing and
the starter handle. Tie a
good knot on the end of the
cord.

!

Tensioning the recoil spring

• Lift up the starter cord from

the cut out on the pulley and
turn the pulley approx. 2
turns clockwise.

NOTE! Ensure the starter
pulley can be turned at least
a further 1/2 turn when the
starter cord is fully
extended.

Replacing a broken recoil spring

• Lift the starter pulley (see

"Changing a broken or worn
starter cord").

• Loosen the screws holding

the spring cassette.

• Disassemble the recoil

spring by tapping the pully
(with its inside facing down)
lightly against a working
bench or similar. If the
spring pops out when
assembling, it should be
mounted again, out and in
towards the centre.

• Lubricate the recoil spring

with thin oil. Assemble the
starter pulley, and tension
the recoil spring.

Fitting the starter

• Fit the starter by first pulling

out the starter cord and then
placing the starter in
position on the crankcase.
No slowly release the
starter cord so that the
pawls grip in the pulley.

• Fit and tighten the screws

that hold the starter.

WARNING!
• The recoil spring sits in its tensioned posi

tion in the starter housing and can with
careless handling fly out and cause personal
injury.

• When replacing the recoil spring or the

starter cord great care should be exercised.
Always wear protective glasses.
