Service manual
General information
The starter assembly inside the cover consists of a rope wound around a pulley. The movement from the
pulley to the fan (and therefore to the engine shaft) is transmitted through a pair of couplings. The return of
the pulley and the rewinding of the rope are obtained from a spiral spring.
See the relevant section [
16] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the star-
ting system.

6.1. Removing the starter assembly
1 - To get access to the starter assembly (1), the
cover (2) must be removed by unscrewing the
three nuts (3).
2 - Ret the starter assembly (1) by tightening the
cover nuts (3) to the torque indicated.
6.2. Replacing the rope
1 - Remove the starter assembly [
6.1].
2 - Keep hold of the pulley (4) and slowly unwind
(clockwise) the entire rope (5) to gradually release
the return spring.
If the rope breaks, the spring will be already relea-
sed and you will only have to unwind the rope.
3 - Undo or cut the knot at the end of the rope
(5) and remove the section still attached to the
pulley.
