MAINTENANCE
English – 35
A muffler equipped with a catalytic converter significantly
reduces the amount of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen
oxides (NO) and aldehydes in the exhaust fumes. Carbon
monoxide (CO), which is poisonous and odourless, is not
however reduced! Consequently, never work in an
enclosed or badly ventilated area. Good air circulation
should always prevail when working in snowy hollows,
ravines or in confined conditions.
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 rim of the pulley. Release the recoil
spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the drive disc, drive disc spring and the pulley. Insert
and secure a new starter cord in the starter pulley.
Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the starter
pulley. Fit the starter pulley so that the end of the
recoil spring hooks into the starter pulley. Now
assemble the drive disc spring, drive disc and the bolt
in the centre of the pulley. Carry the starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and the starter
handle. Tie a good knot on 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
further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the
way out.
Replacement of broken recoil and drive
disc springs
Recoil spring (A)
• Lift up the starter pulley. See instructions under the
heading Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
Remember that the recoil spring is coiled under
tension in the starter housing.
• Remove the cassette with the recoil spring from the
starter.
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the
cassette with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter
pulley and tension the recoil spring.
Drive disc spring (B)
• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the drive disc and the drive disc spring.
!
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, starter cord or the
drive disc spring. Wear protective
glasses and protective gloves.
