DISASSEMBLY, REASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE 3-25
Recoil Starter
CAUTION
The recoil spring is stored in the reel under high tension. Hold
it firmly when handling so that the spring does not jump out.
Disassembly
•
Pull the rope out approximately 350 mm, and tentatively tie a knot at
that position.
•
Pull out the knot of the rope that is pushed into the recess in the
handle, undo the knot, and remove the handle.
•
While holding the reel with your hand, undo the knot of the rope, and
pull the rope out through the hole in the case. Hook the rope on the
cutout of the reel, and slowly allow the reel to retract in a direction
that will relieve the tension of the coil spring.
•
Remove the retaining screw from the center of the reel, and remove
the parts while making sure not to allow the recoil spring to jump out.
•
To remove the recoil spring, make sure that the tension of the spring
has been completely relieved. Then, remove the reel by carefully
pulling the reel straight up. The recoil spring remains retracted in the
reel or spring case.
•
During the removal of the recoil spring, carefully separate it from the
reel, while retracting it outward from the center of the spring.
NOTE
On the FE120, 170, 250, 290, 350, and 400 also, handle the recoil
spring carefully to prevent it from jumping out, and do not reverse
the winding direction of the recoil spring and the rope.

Reassembly
•
Do not reverse the direction of the coil spring during reassembly. Ap-
ply grease to the recoil spring and the case shaft before reassembly.
•
Attach the reel to the case so that the inner hook of the recoil spring
engages securely with the case hook.
•
Assemble the tab, tab spring, and guide plate in their original
positions. Apply a non-coagulating type thread lock on the threaded
portion of the retaining screw and tighten the screw.
•
To apply an initial load to the recoil spring, rotate the reel two turns in
a direction that compresses the recoil spring. Hold the reel, pass the
end of the rope through the hole in the case, and make a tentative
knot.
•
Insert the end of the rope into the handle, make the final knot there,
and undo the tentative knot.
•
Pull on the rope and make sure that the tab operates normally.
