DISASSEMBLY
1.1. 1 Pull knot (1a)out
of
handle
(2)
and untie.
2
Allow rope
(1)
to retract slowly.
3
Remove nut
(3)
and parts
(5,6,8,9)
-
(illustration I).
4
To
prevent. the recoil spring from uncoiling (see illustration II), rotate rope
pulley (10) back and forthto disengage inner spring eye and carefully lift out
of housing
(7).
5
Remove rope (1) from rope pulley (10).
NOTE
:
Recoil
spring (4) need not be removed from housing
(7)
unless it is broken.
6
To
remove spring (4), take housing
(7)
in both hands, open side down, and hit
housing
(7)
on work bench or otherflat surface. Springwill dropout.
7
Clean and inspect all parts for damage and wear, and replace if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Note required direction ofrotation. See illustration III.
Old recoil spring (only if removed from housing during disassembly):
1.2. 1 Wind recoil spring (4) into housing
(7).
See illustration II.

Place recoil spring (4) in housing
(7)
and push with screwdriver down into
housing (7). Remove retaining wire with snipe nosed pliers.
The outer spring eye (4b) must be properly hooked around the retaining tab
(illustration III).
The clearance required between inner spring eye (4a) and rope pulley shaft must
be approx. 4
mm
(.160 in.). If necessary, rebend spring eye (4a) (ill. III).
Lubricate recoil spring(4)and rope pulleyshaftwith some multi-purpose
grease.
Fit rope pulley (10) and carefully rotate it back and forth until it engages in
the inner springeye (4a).
Install parts no. 8,9,6,5, and
3
(illustration I).
Fit long end of torsion spring
(8)
into hole of rope pulley (10), pushing it
over pawl guide (11) (illustration IV).
Slip pawl
(9)
with smooth surface pointing upwards over pawl guide (11). Short
end of torsion spring
(8)
must fit into groove of pawl (9a) (illustration
V).
Fit brake spring
(6)
to brake disk
(5)
as shown in illustr.
V.
Note position
of
brake spring ends (6a) in relation to flat on one side
of
brake disk (arrow).
Position rope pulley (10) in relation to flat on pulley shaft (12) as shown in
illustr.
V
(arrow). Install brake disk
(5)
with brake spring
(6)
onto pulley
shaft (12). Flat in brake disk must match flat on pulley shaft. Fit hex. nut
(3)
and torque to
6
Nm (4.4 ft/lbs).
Rotate rope pulley (10) against the recoil spring tension until it is tight and
hold firm (illustration VI).
Let rope pulley
(10)
now rotate backwards until hole in rope pulley (10a) and
rope guide in housing (7a) are in line.
Slide rope (1) throughhole in rope pulley (10a) and then through the rope guide
in the housing (7a).
Slide rope (1) through handle
(2)
and tie knot. Slowly return handle.
If the recoil starter has been properly assembled, the pawl
(9)
must move outward when
rope is pulled.
