The Multiquip 490652 Starter Rope Grip is a genuine OEM component designed for QP3TB and QP402B centrifugal pumps. As a direct OEM replacement, this grip is sourced and validated by Multiquip to match the original part exactly, giving you confidence that the fit and function will be correct from the moment it arrives on site. Confirmed fitment includes the QP3TB and QP402B pump models, making it a straightforward service item for operators running either unit in the field.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Molded to the same material grade and dimensional profile as the original grip, ensuring the recoil pull feels and performs as intended by Multiquip.
- Direct Rope Interface Fit — Designed to attach directly to the starter rope end without modification, slipping securely into position during assembly.
- Confirmed Pump Compatibility — Verified fitment for QP3TB and QP402B centrifugal pump models, so you can order with confidence.
- Restored Starting Control — A worn or cracked grip makes clean pulls difficult and increases operator fatigue; replacing it restores a secure, comfortable grip on every start attempt.
- Low-Cost Maintenance Item — One of the simplest service parts on the recoil system, replacing the grip at first signs of wear prevents rope slippage and keeps the start sequence smooth.
The starter rope grip is the handle the operator holds when pulling the recoil start cord to crank the engine. It sits at the free end of the rope and takes the full force of every pull, so it is subject to wear, cracking, and splitting over time — especially in outdoor environments with exposure to UV, fuel, and temperature swings. When the grip deteriorates, it becomes uncomfortable to hold, can cause the rope to slip through the operator's hand mid-pull, and may eventually prevent a successful engine start altogether. Replacing a worn grip promptly keeps the recoil start system fully functional and the pump ready to run when it's needed.
