How to install the starter motor on a brushcutter

Starter for power tillers. the device of manual and electric

The power tillers are known for their design features. In particular because they use two starters at the same time. The auxiliary or spring starter helps the main starter to start quickly and properly. But if the auxiliary starter suddenly fails, you have to think about how to repair the manual starter. Perhaps even with their own hands.

By the way, the spring version is not the only one. The manual starter on a single-axle tractor is quite common, it is common in Russia. It is much easier to use. It is easier to install, even if the user does it with his own hands. It has quite an uncomplicated design:

• drum housing;
• coil;
• The spring, or rather, two of them: a big one and a small one;
• washer;
• cord;
• tongues;
• bolts and nuts, without which you can not assemble either mechanical or electric starter.

When assembled, it looks as follows: the cord is attached to the spool, and it is fixed to the core of the drum housing. There is a special space inside the reel, where the big spring is located around the axis. It is she who is responsible for ensuring that after cranking, the starter returns to its previous position.

Installing the starter on a single axle tractor

There are a variety of starter designs:

The most common is a manual starter to a power tiller, t. к. This device is very easy to put on a single-axle tractor, and its repair is not difficult to perform independently. If such a device is used properly, its durability is several years.

Let’s consider what elements make up the starter for the power tiller:

• The body, which has the shape of a drum;
• springs: large and small;
• washers;
• coil;
• cord;
• tongues;
• fasteners details.

In the center of the drum is a spool on which the cord is secured. The large spring is located in the body around the axis and is designed to return the coil to its original position after scrolling.

The mechanism of this device is quite simple, it can be assembled with your own hands.

The operation of the power tiller with a manual starter is as follows. The driver starts the mechanism by pulling the handle of the device. The device starts and starts the engine. In order for the device to successfully transmit the initial rotation to the engine, the handle of the device must be pulled twice.

But although the manual starter for single axle tractors is considered a reliable device, it also sometimes fails. If the construction breaks, it can be repaired by yourself.

How to put the spring on a chainsaw starter?

With this procedure, even experienced users have difficulties.

To refill the spring in the chainsaw starter, the operator should proceed in this sequence:

• At first, the spring must be carefully twisted to the desired diameter;
• After that, the part will need to be carefully placed in the cavity of the metal hub of the factory drum;
• Next, the outer end of the twisted spring has to be secured to the limiting factory lug. At the same time, the outer end of the part must be installed directly opposite the hole provided in the lock;
• Then the loop formed on the inner end of the part must be aligned with the factory hole using a screwdriver, and the disc must be released;
• After that it is needed to turn the disk and check if the ratchet catch has set in place;
• Finally, the starter housing cover is installed.

After the operator managed to wind the spring on the chain saw starter. It will be necessary to adjust its tension. To do this properly, you need to carefully enter the cable into the groove on the standard circle, and twist the factory return piece around it. To tighten the spring. It is enough to wind it around the drum for a few even additional turns.

How to repair the starter gasoline tools with their own hands?

In the case of a broken starter cord, everything is clear: take out the old rope, take a suitable length and thickness (laundry rope), put it through the hole in the spool, tie a knot. Next, let’s plunge the spring to the desired number of turns, only after that fasten the handle. and voila! The details of how to do all of this are illustrated below.

Installing or replacing the starter spring of a brushcutter, power drill, grass trimmer

But what to do if everything is fine with the rope, and the spool (pulley) of the starter does not reload? Let’s look at this question step by step on the example of the starter for ADA GroundDrill gasoline power drills, which has a pulley with two metal tendons on two hooks.

In the case of other types of starter motors of similar design, which are widely used in gasoline brushcutters, trimmers and power drills, the whole process of repairing the starter will look similar, differing only in some nuances.

Starter repair: disassembly

We unscrew the screw that fastens the pulley to the starter cover. Take out the tabs, the spring. Pull out the pulley carefully, so that the spring does not bounce in the face. Even with the most careful disassembly, it tends to fly right out of the coil and abruptly unfold into a long metal strip or twist rings.

Carefully pull out the white starter coil. do not injure the spring!

If the spring broke or broke one of her hooks-hooks, then repair the starter is simple and quick do not work. you need to replace the spring. In order not to spend money on buying a new starter, you can look for it on sale only.

In the case if the starter spring just broke, t. е. one of the hooks is out of mesh, it is enough to insert it, if necessary, slightly tighten the hooks tighter (just do not break off!) Put spring with outer hook in pulley slot and begin to twist it, while holding with fingers inside coil and not letting it come out of there.

Pressing the spring against the pulley, in a circular motion reel the spring in

At first insert the starter spring may not seem so easy, but all comes with experience. With a little practice you can easily coil the spring into the pulley in a maximum of one minute.

The starter spring is wound. It remains only to reassemble the starter and reset the spring to the desired value

How to assemble starter?

The most important thing in the process of self-repair starter. to assemble it correctly.

After the spring is fully wound, you need to carefully turn the coil and insert it into the starter housing so that the second hook of the spring enters into the groove of the housing.

Installing the pulley (black in this photo), look through the hole in it to get the hook of the spring into the groove on the starter housing

Then, in the presence of a spring under the screw first install it, remembering to put washers under and on top of the spring.

Carefully insert the cup with the tendrils into the grooves of the coil and tighten the screw.

Make sure that the washer on the spring does not fall out. Why it is important? The thing is that the spring scratches the plastic cup with its end, as a result of which the latter wears and begins to press the screw to the coil more tightly. This can cause a situation very similar to a spring break: the handle is pulled out of the starter, but does not come back. This problem, however, disappears when the starter screw is loosened. To eliminate this malfunction of the starter is simple: just pick up the spring of the same diameter, but a little longer, or put an additional washer. If we just loosely tighten the screw, it will unscrew and fly out, and this already increases the likelihood of spring failure, since the pulley will not fit tightly enough to the starter housing.

The coil is bolted to the housing, now we need to tighten the spring. Before you do this, it is necessary to remove the starter knob from the rope in advance. If the knot is too strong, you can simply cut it or try to untie it, for example, using a pair of pliers. This is done so that after you suspend the spring, it was possible to put a rope through the hole in the starter cover. The second end of the rope should be secured in the coil before installing it in the housing, the rope should not be wound onto the pulley before pulling the spring. you do this after.

Main malfunctions of the grass trimmer starter

It is not difficult to determine the cause of the starting device failure. There are several basic options:

These parts are shown in the photo below.

It may happen that the starter mechanism is accidentally broken. the consequences will be catastrophic if the broken rope wraps around the flywheel of a running engine: then the spring will break and the pulley will be torn. But such cases, when a complete replacement of the starter unit is required, are extremely rare. In most cases, to fix the mechanism, it is enough to put a new spring or replace the cord.

Removing and disassembling the starter, replacing the broken parts

To make a repair starter trimmer for grass, you will need to first disassemble and then assemble. This process is not particularly difficult. To do the work, you need a screwdriver with a tip of the desired shape.

Everything should be done carefully, observing safety precautions, mainly so that the spring, if accidentally released, does not injure the master.

Disassembling the starter unit

Disassemble the starter mechanism in order to install new parts instead of the broken ones in the following sequence:

to change the spring must be handled carefully: it can burst when exposed to the force caused by its insertion. Even if the roller is carefully removed, the spring band very quickly flies off the coil and can injure the hand with its sharp edges.

It is not always possible to put the spring plate back in its place immediately. It often slips, so attempts must be repeated until the desired result is achieved.

Assembling the starter

Assembly of the starter unit is carried out in a series of steps:

When performing the above manipulations, be sure to put two washers. If this is not done, the spring will eventually damage the plastic cup and when it is tightened, it can become jammed. This makes it feel as if the spring has come off. To solve this defect, you need to install a longer part or an additional washer.

How to disassemble and repair the electric braid yourself

Before you disassemble and repair the electric scythe, you should check the condition of the socket and the mains voltage. If its value deviates from the norms specified in the instruction manual, then you should not even try to work the device without a stabilizer designed for the appropriate power. Otherwise the electric motor can fail. Only after determining that the cause of the grass trimmer failure is directly related to it, you can begin to disassemble the mechanism for repair purposes.

Disassembly and repair of electrical parts

To disassemble the electric motor to repair its electrical part proceed as follows.

• Put the grass trimmer on a flat surface (for example, a table), which does not contain unnecessary items.
• Loosen the screws on one side of the cover.
• The half of the housing is unscrewed, thus getting access to the start button, the electric motor, the brush unit, the bearings and the electrical connections (these elements are shown in the photo below).

Brush and bearing assemblies are shown in the photo below.

Grass cutter will work without a thermostat, but you’ll need to check the temperature of the electric motor, periodically giving him to cool down. You can also install a new sensor of the same kind.

The motor starter button can be checked by shorting its contacts with a jumper. If the grass trimmer will work, then the problem is clear. But this is not a safe way to do it. Be careful not to get an electric shock. To change the button, you need to use a screwdriver to remove it from its seat and connect the wires from the old to the new. After replacing the button, you need to assemble the brushcutter and then check that it works.

The brushes need to be replaced if they are destroyed. It is enough to pull out the old ones from their slots and put the new ones in their place.

The connection terminals on different trimmer models are virtually identical, so you connect and disconnect wires in the same way.

Replacing the bearing is quite a complicated operation because it can get stuck and not be removed from the motor shaft. Pull or knock it down carefully so as not to damage the rotor or the seat.

When the electric motor of the grass trimmer fails, and it is necessary to replace it with a new one, you should carefully remove the fan and bearings, and then install them in their former place. The cost of replacement is almost comparable to buying a new mechanism. Its implementation in the absence of experience in working with electric motors is better to entrust to professionals.

Remove and disassemble the starter, replace the broken parts

To make repairs to the grass trimmer starter, you will need to first disassemble it, and then assemble. This process is not particularly difficult. To work need a screwdriver with a tip of the right shape.

You should do everything carefully, observing safety precautions, mainly to ensure that the spring in the accidental release did not injure the master.

Disassemble the starter assembly

Disassemble the starter mechanism to install new parts to replace the broken parts in the following sequence:

• unscrew the screw fixing the pulley with the starter cover with a screwdriver;
• Remove the spring and tendons;
• Remove the pulley carefully (it is necessary to turn the head or work, wearing goggles and gloves);
• Determine why the starter mechanism is broken;
• If the spring is almost completely destroyed, it is replaced;
• when the spring is out of the hook, it is installed in its original place, bending before doing so the tendons (the photos show the process of laying);

To change the spring, you must work carefully and carefully: it can, under the influence of the force caused by installing it in place, accidentally burst. Even if you remove the roller carefully, the spring band quickly comes off the coil and can injure your hand with its sharp edges.

It is not always possible to immediately put the spring plate in its original place. It often slips, so attempts must be repeated until the desired result is achieved.

Assembling the starter

Assembly of the starter unit is carried out in a series of steps:

When performing the above manipulations, be sure to put two washers. If this is not done, the spring will eventually damage the plastic cup, and tightening will begin podklinirovannya. This makes it feel as if the spring has come off. To eliminate such a drawback, you need to install this part of a greater length or an additional washer.

When such parts are not available, you can just unscrew the screw a little, and the starter unit will start to work without cramping. But this option is temporary. it is better to repair qualitatively as soon as possible.

Spring tension

After installing the spring, it should be tightened. To do this, carry out the following steps:

• Remove the handle from the starter cord;
• Then the rope is inserted into the bobbin slot;
• make tensioning the spring, rotating the coil in the opposite direction of the clockwise (winding);
• Make the desired number of revolutions specified in the instruction manual to the used model of grass trimmer and corresponding to the length of the cord used;
• At the very end of a rope put through a hole designed for this purpose, located in the starter cover;
• put the handle back in place, fixing it with a knot.

If the spring keeps coming off after repair, you can get rid of it in the following ways:

• Squeeze a suitably sized piece of plate into the groove at the location of the spring hook;
• drill holes on both sides of the groove in the coil, in which to insert the catch of the spring and secure it with a wire.

Replacing a Torn Cord

A broken rope shall be replaced in this sequence:

• remove the old cord;
• Choose the right size of rope (thickness and length);
• passing it through a special hole, located in the coil, tie a knot;
• The spring is wound up, making the required number of turns;
• fasten the handle.

It is better to perform tensioning of the spring plate together with a partner, so that the edge of the cord does not wind up inside the starter mechanism.

To assemble the starter on the trimmer and wind the spring is not difficult, but you should do it carefully and with care. For different models of petrol-wheelers, the breakdowns of the starting mechanisms are the same, so they are repaired in the same way. However, there are some nuances associated with their design features.

One of the key nodes of the lawnmower is the starter, designed to make it easier to start the engine of the device. Like other parts, it breaks down from time to time. In this case, there are two solutions to the problem: the repair of the grass trimmer starter or its complete replacement. The second option is more simple, but expensive. In addition, the required part must first be found on sale, as for different models of petrol-wood trimmers different starters are used. If you have free time and a screwdriver with a suitable tip, you can restore the functionality of this node yourself, if you know how it works, what malfunctions are typical for it, and how to properly eliminate them. About all this. in this material.

Removing and disassembling the starter, replacing the broken parts

To repair the grass trimmer starter, you will need to first disassemble it, and then assemble. This process is not a particularly difficult activity. A screwdriver with a tip of the right shape is needed for the job.

Everything should be done carefully, respecting the safety measures, mainly so that the spring, if accidentally released, does not hurt the master.

Disassembly of the starter unit

Disassemble the starter mechanism in order to install new parts in place of the broken ones in the following sequence:

• unscrew the screw that secures the pulley with the starter cover with a screwdriver;
• Take out the spring and the tendons;
• Carefully remove the pulley (you need to turn the head or work, wearing goggles and gloves beforehand);
• determine why the trigger mechanism is broken;
• if the spring is almost completely destroyed, it is replaced;
• When the spring is out of the hook, it is installed in its original place, having bent the tendons before (the photos show the process of laying);

To change the spring, work carefully and carefully: it can burst by the force caused by setting it in place accidentally. Even if you carefully remove the roller, the spring band very quickly comes off the coil and can hurt your hand with its sharp edges.

Immediately put in place a spring plate is not always possible. It often slips, so you need to try again and again until you get the desired result.

Reassembling the starter

Assembly of the starter unit is carried out in a series of steps:

When doing the above manipulations, be sure to put two washers. If this is not done, the spring will eventually damage the plastic cup, and when it is tightened, it will begin to jam. This causes the spring to feel as if it has come off. To eliminate this defect, you need to install this part of a longer length or an additional washer.

When such spares are absent, you can simply unscrew the screw a little, and the starter knot will begin to work without cinching. But this option is temporary. it is better to repair quality as soon as possible.

Spring tensioning

After installing the spring, it should be tightened. To do this, carry out the following steps:

• remove the handle from the starter cord;
• then the rope is inserted into the spool slot;
• tighten the spring by turning the spool in the opposite direction to the clockwise direction (winding);
• make the desired number of revolutions specified in the instruction manual to the used model of grass trimmer and corresponding to the length of the cord used;
• at the very end, the rope is inserted through the hole in the starter’s cover designed for this purpose;
• put the handle in place, fixing it with a knot.

If after repair, the spring continues to fly off, then you can get rid of this in the following ways:

• squeeze a suitable size piece of plate into the groove at the location of the spring hook;
• drill holes on both sides of the groove in the coil, in which you insert the spring catch and secure it with a wire.

Replacing a torn cord

The broken cord is replaced in this sequence:

• The old cord is removed;
• choose a suitable size of rope (thickness and length);
• having put it through a special hole, located in the spool, tie a knot;
• wind up the spring, making the required number of revolutions;
• fasten the handle.

It is better to tension the spring plate together with a partner, so that the edge of the cord does not wind up inside the starter mechanism.

Assemble the starter on the trimmer and wind the spring is not difficult, but you should do it carefully and with care. For different models of chain saws, the breakdowns of starting mechanisms are the same, so they are repaired in the same way. In this case there are some nuances associated with their design features.

In this case, there are two solutions to the problem: the repair of the grass trimmer starter or its complete replacement. The second option is simpler, but more expensive. In addition, the required part must first be found on sale, because different models of petrol lawnmowers use different starters. In the presence of free time and a screwdriver with a suitable tip to restore the performance of the node can be restored independently, if you know how it works, what malfunctions are typical for it, and how to correct them. About all this. in this material.

Dismantling, disassembling the grass trimmer starter, replacing parts

First of all, the repair process begins with the removal of the entire starter from the grass trimmer. This process is not inherently complicated and requires only unscrewing a few screws with a suitable locksmith tool. It should be noted that safety precautions must be observed when disassembling the starter mechanism of the lawnmower, because the band spring, when compressed, has enough energy to injure a person.

Disassembling the brushcutter starter

This step allows the master to establish the causes of malfunction of the starter unit, as well as to make defects in the individual parts. Disassembly should be carried out in the following sequence:

Remove the spring from the starter coil

Many experts note that at the first time to make the installation of the spring is difficult enough, because the owner when repairing the starter trimmer for grass will require not only the basic skills of a mechanic, but also patience.

Grass trimmer starter assembly sequence

Although the process of assembling the start node of the lawnmower is carried out in the reverse order of disassembly, there are several nuances to which you should pay special attention:

The coil with the installed spring should be turned and mounted in a slot in the starter housing so that all protrusions are in their original place.

Installing the grass trimmer spool in the starter housing

When assembling the starter, pay attention to the compression spring, which should be limited on both sides by steel springs. If this is not done, then after already the first season, it will rub the grooves in the pulley housing.

Tips for tensioning the strap spring

After installing the starter it is necessary to remove the rope handle and insert it into the groove of the spool. Next, against the movement of the pulley at start-up you need to make a certain number of revolutions specified in the instruction manual of the gasoline grass trimmer. It is worth noting that the tension and further performance of the node will depend on how to put the spring on the trimmer and how to make the tension. At the final stage we put a rope through a special hole and fix it with a handle.

Replacement of the grass trimmer starter rope

In the beginning, it is necessary to remove the torn cord, choose, depending on the model of the grass trimmer, a suitable length. Pull through a special hole in the pulley and on the other end tie a knot to prevent jumping out of the rope start mechanism trimmer for grass. Next, we erect the belt spring for the required number of revolutions and mount the handle.

Repair of the starter gasoline trimmer for grass can be required at the most inopportune moment. In this case, the problem can be solved in two ways: to replace the broken part or to replace the entire unit. The latter option is more expensive. To repair the device with your own hands in most cases you need only a screwdriver with the appropriate tip. Repair work does not take much time and does not require special knowledge. It is enough to know the device, the principle of operation, the nuances of assembly and disassembly of the starter on the trimmer to achieve the desired positive result.

Removing and disassembling the starter, replacing the broken parts

How to repair the manual starter

Recently, many consumers have begun to give preference to power plants with an electric starter. Such a device is much easier to use, it is more convenient to start and even an inexperienced user can operate. But do not forget that if the battery is broken or refuses to work, then start the equipment using the electric starter simply will not work. For this reason, the manual start is considered more reliable, especially if you work with the installation far from the city, it is better to take this element with you to continue to work.

of the generator by himself every user should know

The starter is one of the most important parts of any device, because without it it will not work. But, unfortunately, it often breaks down and leads to problems with starting the engine. Therefore, if possible, stock up on additional manual ignition, which can be installed instead of the faulty part.

How to replace or reassemble the starter spring?

If the rope on the starter is OK, the coil itself is suspect. It is actuated by a coiled belt spring. Certain steps must be taken to change the spring.

• Remove the starter motor from the lawnmower.
• Remove the starter coil.
• Unscrew the main bolt that holds the pulley to the housing.
• Take out the catcher bar and the spring, the strap spring is almost completely flattened or coiled by rings of larger diameter.
• Hold it in place beforehand.
• Check if the spring is intact (there can be rusty spots, breaks, etc.). д.). If the hooks on its ends are broken, you won’t be able to bend new ones. the high carbon steel breaks when you try to bend it. Loose hooks are suitable for easy bending.
• Make sure the auxiliary spring and washers are in place. These parts protect the bobbin frame from being pierced by the ends of the main spring. If the washers and spring are broken and no new ones are available, do not screw the coil bolt in tight, but keep an eye on it. it can unscrew and get lost.
• If the main (flat) spring is damaged, insert an identical new spring. Place the hook on the end of the spring in its place and bend it, inserting it coil by coil into the space where it is supposed to be.

The spring can be rewound in a minute. The knack for this action is acquired quickly.

See the following video for how to replace or rewind the starter spring.

Starter Builder

• make two washers with the spring in between
• place the cup with the antennas at the destination;
• Tighten the screw (photo at).

Requires the above manipulation to put two washers. Failure to do so may cause the plastic cup to become damaged over time, and it will begin to jam when it is removed. For this reason, there is a feeling that spring has come. To fix this defect, you need to install this piece of longer length or an additional washer.

When such parts are missing, there are several options to unscrew the screw, and the starter assembly will start to work without fixing. Unfortunately, this option is only temporary. It’s better to repair it, ideally sooner.

Starter and gearbox failures

Gearbox transmits torque from motor shaft to cutting tool, its gears should be absolutely clean and necessarily lubricated with special grease during operation.

Conducting a technical inspection by your own forces once a season will eliminate the need to repair the gearbox or replace it, with the purchase of an expensive new unit.

The starter is necessary to bring the grass trimmer into working order, its diagnosis is to check the tension of the cord coupled with the teeth of the starter spool, which are often destroyed by a sharp start.

A non-functional starter motor in a chainsaw cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a working unit as part of the obligatory inspection or repair program.

The cutting elements require special attention and care, and should always be cleaned of dirt and grass clippings after use. Regular inspection and careful preparation of the device for operation will help to avoid costly and time-consuming repairs, always be sure that the lawnmower is working properly.

Minor engine repairs: replacing the starter cord on a Briggs mower

Always follow the service and maintenance instructions when doing repairs or maintenance work on the equipment. Manuals can be found on the manufacturer’s website.

In this video, I replace the starter cord on a Briggs Stratton 650 Series mower engine. The mower cord handle is attached to the handle of the mower itself. The cord to start this engine is 7 feet long. The length of the cord may vary slightly, it depends on the stiffness of the cord. If the stiffness of the cord used is great, the cord can twist. If this happens, cut the cord to 6.5 feet and try again. Tools used:. wrenches. head set. Phillips and straight screwdriver. fine pliers. lighter or matches In this video I’m going to show you how to replace the starter cord on a 650 series Briggs Stratton mower engine. This is the common engine for this series. The cord connects here to this part on the handle and you actually start pulling from here. The length of the starter cord should be about 2 meters this is a safe length. I measured the cord that we have here and cut it into two meters. The cord number is 4.5. It’s important to get the right size because if you use too thick. It will not tuck well into the mower. If you pull this cut cord. These strings will begin to come out. So you need to, melt the ends of these strands with a lighter or match to heat them up and melt them and then slide them down with your fingers like this. and on both ends. This will make installation much easier and prevent the rope from unraveling. The next thing you need to do is attach the cord to the handle that you’re pulling on. put it through the handle and pull it through. If you can’t tuck it in, you can use tweezers to grab the cord and pull it out. Now make a knot at the end. and tighten it back into the handle a couple of centimeters. Now we need to remove the shroud from the motor. On this engine, you first remove this decorative part and put it aside. And on this engine, the gas tank is attached with three bolts on the top and one on the side. We need to remove the gas tank to get to the shroud. Now the bolt on the side. You can just hang the gas tank next to it. There is another bracket that will need to be removed. This is the oil level gauge tube. Take it off. Now we can remove the shroud. It’s fastened with four 10-bolts, you’ll need a screwdriver. 2 bolts in the front and 2 in the back. And now you can remove the cover. This is the kickstarter assembly with the return mechanism, right here there is a small hole where the rope goes. and here on the outside this cord goes into this assembly. You need the mechanism to rotate counterclockwise. You need about 7 turns to get it started and then after the mechanism is wound you can let go of the rope. So let’s do that. See. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Once you get the spring in, you can take the cord and pull it through this hole. To do this, I might need some tweezers. Then, once I have pulled through the hole I can take a screwdriver and block the rotation of the mechanism The screwdriver will prevent the mechanism from turning so I can tie the knot. The usual knot, as we did on the handle. Then remove the screwdriver, and holding the cord, let the mechanism return to its original state. And that’s it. Now you can put the shroud back together. To reassemble, just put the shroud back on. Tighten back the 4 bolts, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. Screwdriver and sockets are great for tightening the smaller bolts. But be careful not to overtighten them. Attach the dipstick to the shroud. And attach the fuel tank. 3 bolts at the top and one bolt at the side. And then install this decorative panel. Now you can pull the cord and pull it out. I removed the spark plugs from the engine so I can demonstrate this in the video. At any rate, pull it out and attach it to the hook of the handle. That’s it. Let’s see if we can start it up by holding the camera. Briefly. What I did. on this type of mower I used a 4.5 meter long cord, and when I took the cover off, I screwed the return mechanism 7 times before I put the cord in. That’s actually all there is to do, it’s a pretty simple job. I hope you find this video useful and thanks for watching. _
