Starter

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.

Care must be exercised when replacing the return spring, starter cord or the drive disc spring. Wear protective glasses and protective gloves.

Changing a broken or worn starter cord

•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.

345e:

•Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the drive disc, drive disc spring and the pulley. Insert and secure a new starter cord in the starter pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the starter pulley. Fit the starter pulley so that the end of the recoil spring hooks into the starter pulley. Now assemble the drive disc spring, drive disc and the bolt in the centre of the pulley. Carry the starter cord through the hole in the

starter housing and the starter handle. Tie a good knot on the starter cord.

346XP, 353:

•Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley. Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the center of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Make a secure knot in the end of the starter cord.

Tensioning the recoil spring

•Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.

Note! Check that the pulley can be turned an additional 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.
