PROBLEMPOSSIBLE CAUSESOLUTION
IF THESE SOLUTIONS DO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENT.
NOTE: The carburetor adjustment needle(s) are equipped with plastic cap(s) that prevents counterclockwise rotation from the
original factory adjustment. If your unit exhibits specific performance problem(s) where the Trouble Shooting Section recommends
a counterclockwise needle adjustment and no adjustments have been made since original purchase, the unit should be taken
to a factory authorized service agent for repair. In most cases, the needed adjustment is a simple task for the factory trained
service representative.
