Jonsered CS 2240 manual Changing a broken or worn starter cord, Tensioning the recoil spring

Repair instructions

7.2Changing a broken or worn starter cord

When the starter cord is worn and must be replaced, the tension on the return spring must be released.

1

Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the notch on the outside of the starter pulley. Release the tension on the return spring by allowing the starter pulley to rotate slowly backwards (see figure 2).

WARNING!

If the spring tension is activated on the starter pulley, the spring can fly out and cause personal injury. Wear protective glasses.

2

Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and re- move the pulley (see figure 3).

3

Fit a new cord through the hole in the pulley and tie a knot to secure it. Feed the other end of the cord through the hole in the starter housing and through the starter handle, then tie a double knot in the end. Wind about 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley. Fit the bolt through the centre of the pulley and tighten to a torque of 2–3 Nm.

Cleaning and inspection

• Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there are any cracks or other defects replace the damaged parts with new ones. Lubricate the return spring with a little grease.

7.3 Tensioning the recoil spring

1

Fasten the starter cord in the notch in the pulley rim and wind the pulley about 3 turns clockwise. Check that the pulley is free to rotate at least an- other half turn when the starter cord is fully exten- ded (see figure 4).

2

Tension the cord with the handle. Remove the thumb and released back the cord (see figure 5).
