  Easy2Start conversion kit

  The Easy2Start conversion kit 4140 007 1017
  distinctly improves the convenience of starting the
  STIHL models FC 55, FS 45, FS 46, FS 55, HL 45

  and KM 55. A spiral spring stores the energy when
  pulling on the starter rope and passes it on to the

  engine via the driver.
  This yields the following advantages for the user:

                                                                                                              233TI039 SC

  .   Significantly less effort is required to start the
      engine.

  .   Individual peak forces due to compression are
      no longer felt on the starter grip.                  The Easy2Start conversion kit comprises the
                                                           following parts:
  .   The starter rope can be pulled much more
