A rope starter is an essential part of many outdoor equipment types, including hedge trimmers, brush cutters, pole saws, and edgers. The rope starter is utilized through a pulling action by the operator. When fitted correctly, it engages the starter spring. The rope turns the engine quickly enough to create a spark. The spark from the movement ignites the fuel in the cylinder and starts the lawn equipment. Rope starters can break from normal use, wearing down as the device is started. To install the rope starter, a socket wrench and screwdriver are required. The replacement can be done in a few minutes when following proper instructions. Wear gloves for protection. The housing must first be disassembled for the replacement of a rope starter. Remove the broken rope starter and install the new one by turning the starter string to build tension. The new rope starter then coils inside. Reassemble the housing and test the rope starter. The rope starter is a genuine OEM replacement part that fits in both Echo and Shindaiwa equipment. It is sold individually. This replacement part is made from white nylon material. Check the instruction manual for specific compatibility.
