Rewind Starter

To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
Pull the starter rope only in the
N
direction specified.
Do not pull the rope over the edge of
N
the guide bushing.
Do not pull out the rope more than
N
specified.
Do not allow the starter grip to snap
N
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /

Have a damaged starter rope replaced
by your dealer before it breaks

carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
