Starter Housing - Husqvarna K 1270R Manual De Instrucciones

Starter housing

Checking the starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the cut-out
in the periphery of the starter pulley. When the cord is
intact: Release the spring tension by letting the pulley
rotate slowly backwards.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and
check that the return spring works. Insert the new
starter cord through the hole in the starter housing
and in the cord pulley.
• Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as
illustrated. Tighten the fastening well and ensure that
the free end is as short as possible. Secure the end of
the starter cord in the starter handle.
MAINTENANCE
Tensioning the recoil spring
• Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of
the pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around
the centre of the starter pulley.
• Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the
spring. Repeat the procedure once more, but this time
with four turns.
• Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct
home position after tensioning the spring.
• Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position
by pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter
pulley with your thumb and check that you can turn the
pulley at least a further half turn.
Changing a broken recoil spring
!
• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the pulley.
• Carefully lift the cover that protects the spring. Bear in
mind that the return spring lies tensioned in the starter
housing.
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.
Always be careful when changing the
recoil spring or the starter cord. Always
wear protective goggles.
