3. Make a secure knot in the end of the replacement starter cord and then pass the free end of the cord
through the hole in the spool from above.
4. Pass the end of the cord through the opening in the starter housing from below, also through the starter
handle from below, and then make a secure knot in the end of the cord.
5. Pull a length of the starter cord out of the housing as shown in the illustration and pass it through the slot
in the spool.
6. Hold the cord securely close to the slot in the spool and then rotate the spool in a clockwise direction as
far as it will go.
7. Rotate the spool back from its end point at least a ½ revolution, max. 1 ½ revolutions, until the slot in the
spool is in alignment with the opening in the starter housing.
8. Hold the spool securely and pull the free end of the cord out of the housing towards the starter handle.
9. Hold the cord under tension, release the spool and allow the starter cord to be pulled in.
10. Pull the starter cord out as far as it will go and check to ensure that the spool can be turned by hand at
least a further ½ turn in a clockwise direction. If this is not possible, spring tension must be reduced by
one revolution in a counterclockwise direction.
11. Fit the starter assembly and press it down gently. Pull the starter cord slightly until the coupling engages
and the starter assembly is fully seated.
12. Secure the starter assembly with the three retaining screws.
