MAINTENANCE
34 – English
use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or
defective.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible
material.
Starter
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the
notch in the r
im of the pulley. Release the recoil spring
by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
• Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove
the pulle
y. 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
fur
ther 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the
way out.
Changing a broken recoil spring
• Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading
Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
• Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by
tapping the pulley lightly with its inside face
downwards against a work bench or the like. If the
spring pops out during fitting, wind it up again, working
from the outside in towards centre.
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley
and tension the recoil spr
ing.
!
WARNING! When the recoil spring is
wound up in the starter housing it is
under tension and can, if handled
carelessly, pop out and cause personal
injury.
Care must be exercised when replacing
the return spring or the starter cord.
Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves.
