O.S. Engines 18TZ(S)-T - Manual (Page 17)

In case of the18TZ-TX
Avoid forcing the screws. Secure with locknuts.
If the bottom of the recoil starter housing would
otherwise touch the car chassis, install the en-
gine mount spacers (optional extra) between
the engine's mounting lugs and the engine
mount. With some vehicles, it may be neces-
sary to make minor trimming modifications to
chassis or body when installing the engine.
NOTE:
When spacers are supplied joined in pairs
(see sketch) separate them as shown.
Either face may be placed downwards.

NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER
REMINDER! ( 18TZ-TX ONLY)
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil starter.
If you do so, the very strong spring inside will be
suddenly ejected. This can be very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more than 40cm
(16"). Do not abruptly release the operating
handle. Allow the cord to rewind smoothly while
still holding the handle.

Pull the operating handle straight out when
starting the engine, so that the cord does not
rub against the vehicle body or engine.
This will help prevent the cord from being
damaged by abrasion or engine heat.
Try to avoid spilling fuel over the starter unit and
its cord. Some fuels have a detrimental effect on
these parts.
The starter prevents the engine from being ro-
tated in the wrong direction.The unit will be
damaged if you attempt to force the flywheel in
the opposite direction (i.e. clockwise when
viewed from the crankshaft end).
