Tensioning the rewind spring N 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. N Hold the rotor steady. Pull out and straighten the twisted rope. N Let go of the rotor. N Release the rope slowly so that it winds onto the rotor. The starter grip must locate firmly in the rope bushing. If the grip droops to one side: Add one more turn on the rope rotor to increase spring tension. N 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 overtensioned and could break. Take one turn of the rope off the rotor. 249BA016 KN N Fit the starter cover on the housing. N Tighten down the screws firmly.
