•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 centre 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 at least a further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.
