Recoil Starter
RECOIL STARTER
1. To Align Starter
a. Position starter on blower housing with centering
pin engaged in center hole of crankshaft. If
there is no centering pin, place starter over
drive cup and pull handle so all lugs engage.
b. Press starter into position and install machine
screw with lock washers and flat washers.
c. Hold starter in centered position, tighten screws.
2. Operating Tips
a. Be sure starter screen is kept clean when
operating engine or serious engine damage can
result from lack of cooling air.
b. After engine has started, do not allow starter
cable to snap back into starter housing.
Continue to hold handle and allow starter cable
to rewind slowly.
Note:
Releasing handle when starter
cable is extended will shorten life
of starter.
c. Do not use starter in a rough manner, such as
jerking or pulling starter cable all the way out. A
smooth, steady pull will start engine under
normal conditions.
d. Always pull starter handle straight out so that
cable will not receive excessive wear from
friction against guide. Proper procedure will
prevent unnecessary wear.
e. If recoil starter should ever fail, starter assembly
can be removed and engine cranked with a
rope. The starter drive cup will serve as a
pulley for emergency purposes.
