8. Allow each melted end to drip once; then while the
rope is still hot, puli each melted end through a
clean rag to obtain a smooth, pointed end-
9. Insert one end of the rope through the handle and
secure with a knot. Leave 3/16" (5 mm) pigtail be¬
hind the knot. Figure 17 (Inset).
10. Insert the other end of the rope through the metal
grommet, then under the rope guide. Figure 17.
11. Guide rope inside the pulley, then through pulley
hole. Figure 16.
12. Wrap rope counterclockwise around the pulley
ratchet and tuck the loose end back under the
rope, leaving about a 1 inch (25 mm) tail next to
the retainer rib. Figure 18.
NOTE; In step 13., do not overtighten the retainer
screw. Over tightening the screw can cause the
screw post to strip out. Tighten the screw until
the bottom of the wasber either (1) is snug against
the rope or (2) contacts the top of the screw post.
13. Install and tighten the retainer screw and washer.
Figure 18.
14. Pull the rope tightly around the pulley ratchet.
15. Slightly pull the rope to relieve the pressure on the
hex wrench. Remove the hex wrench and allow
the rope to rewind slowly.
16. Reassemble the pulley housing to the engine.
Tighten screws securely.
NOTE; Be sure the rubber O-ring is installed onto
the pulley housing. See Figure 14.
17. Align the hole in the impeller with impeller shaft,
making sure flat sides are aligned. Figure 19.
18. Assemble parts. Reverse steps 1. through 3. to
reassemble.
D. STORAGE
1. Clean the unit before storing. Pay particular at¬
tention to the air intake area, keepingit free of de¬
bris. Use a mild detergent and sponge to clean the
plastic surfaces.
2. Do not store the unit or fuel in a closed area where
fuel vapors can reach sparks or an open flame
from hot water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
3. Store in a dry area out of the reach of children.
1 CAUTIONm It is important to prevent gam depos¬
its from forming in essential fuel system parts such
as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or fuel tank
during storage. Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called Gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to sep¬
aration and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
