4. Operating Instructions

Once the recoil starter assembly is correctly installed, follow your chainsaw's manufacturer guidelines for starting the engine. The Hicello recoil starter provides the pull mechanism for ignition.

General Starting Procedure (Refer to your chainsaw's manual for specifics):

1. Prime the Engine: If your chainsaw has a primer bulb, press it several times until fuel is visible.
2. Set Choke: Engage the choke lever to the "full choke" position.
3. Engage Throttle Lock: If applicable, engage the throttle lock or half-throttle setting.
4. Position Chainsaw: Place the chainsaw on a firm, flat surface. Ensure the chain brake is engaged.
5. Secure Chainsaw: Hold the chainsaw firmly with one hand on the front handle and place your foot through the rear handle to stabilize it.
6. Pull Starter Rope: Grasp the starter handle and pull the rope slowly until you feel resistance, then pull with a rapid, full arm stroke. Do not pull the rope to its full extension or let it snap back.
7. Listen for Ignition: The engine should "pop" or briefly ignite.
8. Disengage Choke: Once the engine pops, disengage the choke to the "half choke" or "run" position.
9. Restart Engine: Pull the starter rope again with a rapid stroke until the engine starts.
10. Warm-up: Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before disengaging the chain brake and beginning operation.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your recoil starter assembly.

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the starter assembly free from sawdust, dirt, and debris. Use a brush or compressed air to clean the vents and internal components.
• Inspect Rope: Periodically check the starter rope for fraying, cuts, or excessive wear. Replace the rope if any damage is observed.
• Inspect Handle: Ensure the starter handle is securely attached and not damaged.
• Lubrication: Lightly lubricate the recoil spring and pulley mechanism with a dry lubricant if movement becomes stiff. Avoid excessive lubrication which can attract dirt.
• Storage: When not in use, store the chainsaw in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion and damage to the starter mechanism.
