the rope rotor.
• Thread end of new rope through
hole in side of rotor.

Take out the spring housing.
Use pliers to remove any remaining
pieces of spring from the fan

Note: The new rewind spring is
supplied ready for installation with
a retainer (1). It should be lubri-
cated with a few drops of STIHL
special lubricant before installation
- see 11.2.

rewind spring is pressed into the
fan housing. Engage the anchor
loop (2) over the lug in the fan
housing.
Caution: The rewind spring can
pop out and uncoil during
installation.
• If the rewind spring has popped
out, it must be refitted as follows:
• Push rope into inner bore from the
underside of the rotor. Pull it
through to the top and secure it
with a simple overhand knot.
• Pull the rope back into the rotor
so that the knot locates in the re-
cess.
• Thread rope through the bottom
of the starter grip and pull it out to
the side.
• Tie one of the special knots
shown and pull the rope back
into the starter grip.
• Install the rope rotor - see 6.2.
• Position anchor loop about
"a" = 11 mm (0.4") from the edge
of the assembly tool (1).
