FAQs
What material is the SolaDirect Pull Cord made from?
The pull cord is engineered with a durable polyamide core.
Is this cord suitable for outdoor power equipment?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use with petrol engines in chainsaws, strimmers, lawnmowers, brush cutters, and similar equipment.
How resistant is the cord to oil and petrol?
The cord is engineered to resist the corrosive effects of oil and petrol, maintaining its integrity and performance in harsh environments.
Can I use this cord on any brand of equipment?
It offers universal compatibility with a wide range of petrol engines. However, it's recommended to check the required cord diameter and length for your specific equipment.
Is this cord pre-cut to a specific length?
No, the cord is designed to be cut to the required length during installation to ensure a proper fit for your equipment.
How do I ensure the cord is installed correctly?
Thread the cord through the starter housing and tie a secure knot at the end that engages the starter mechanism. Refer to your equipment's manual for specific starter assembly instructions.
What are the benefits of the polyamide core?
The polyamide core provides enhanced durability, preventing fraying and snapping, which ensures longevity and reliability for frequent use.
Troubleshooting
Cord does not retract properly
Ensure the knot is not too large and is properly seated within the starter mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris in the starter housing.
Cord frays or breaks prematurely
Verify the cord is not rubbing against sharp edges. Ensure the starter mechanism is functioning smoothly and not causing excessive friction. Check for oil or petrol contamination which the cord is resistant to, but extreme saturation may still affect longevity.
Engine fails to start after pulling
Confirm the pull cord is securely attached to the starter mechanism and the knot is engaging the starter pawl correctly. This issue is likely related to the engine itself, not the pull cord.
Difficulty pulling the cord
Check for any binding in the starter recoil mechanism or the engine itself. The cord may be too thick for the specific housing, or there might be internal damage to the starter assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, first remove the old pull cord. Cut the new SolaDirect cord to the required length, ensuring it is long enough to engage the starter mechanism fully. Thread the cord through the starter housing and tie a secure knot (e.g., a figure-eight knot or a simple overhand knot, depending on the starter mechanism) at the end that engages the recoil mechanism. Ensure the knot is substantial enough to catch the starter pawl but not so large that it jams. For optimal performance, always follow the specific instructions for your equipment's starter assembly.
Compatibility: This pull cord is designed for universal compatibility with most petrol engines found in chainsaws, strimmers, lawnmowers, and brush cutters. However, it is advisable to measure the diameter and required length of your existing cord to ensure a precise fit before purchasing.
Care: To maintain the cord's longevity, regularly inspect it for signs of wear or damage. Keep the area around the starter housing clean to prevent debris from interfering with the cord's movement. Store equipment in a clean, dry environment, away from excessive heat or prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
