backwards.
Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the drive disc (A), drive disc spring (B) and the pulley

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 an
additional 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all
the way out.
Stretch the line with the handle. Move your thumb and
release the line. See the figure below.

cassette with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter
pulley and tension the recoil spring.
