Tensioning the rewind spring
:
Make a loop in the unwound
starter rope and use it to turn
the rope rotor six full revolutions in
the direction of the arrow.
:
Hold the rotor steady – pull out and
straighten the twisted rope.
:
Release the rope rotor.
:
Let go of rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor. The starter grip must
locate firmly in the rope guide
bushing. If the grip droops to one
side: Increase spring tension by
adding one more turn.
:
When the starter rope is fully
extended it must still be possible to
rotate the rotor another half turn. If
this is not the case, the spring is
