If the engine is adjusted for operation above 330 m (1100 ft.) ASL, the 
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below 
330 m (1,100 ft.) ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.
Note:  Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in 
compliance with emission regulations. Carburetor 
adjustments, other than idle speed, must be performed by an 
authorized dealer.
◆ The cutting attachment may be moving during carburetor 
adjustments.
◆ Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety 
instructions.
◆ For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting 
attachment stops moving when the engine idles.
◆ When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting 
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.
1. Check idle speed and reset if 
necessary. If a tachometer is 
available, idle speed screw 
(A) should be set to the 
specifications found on 
“Specifications” page of this 
manual. Turn idle screw (A) 
clockwise to increase idle 
speed; counterclockwise to 
decrease idle speed.
When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting 
attachment should not move at idle, otherwise serious personal 
injury may result.
