The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
On this machine it is no longer
necessary to adjust the carburetor.
It has been set at the factory to provide
an optimum fuel-air mixture in all
locations and operating conditions.
Adjusting Idle Speed
Engine stops while idling
N Warm up the engine for about
3 minutes.
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly clockwise until the engine
runs smoothly – the cutting
attachment must not turn.
Cutting attachment rotates when engine
is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the cutting
attachment stops moving and then
rotate the screw another 1/2 to 3/4
turn in the same direction.
WARNING
If the cutting attachment continues to run
when the engine is idling, have your
machine checked and repaired by your
servicing dealer.
If engine is down on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idling speed, first
check the spark plug.
Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100
operating hours or earlier if the
electrodes are badly eroded.
Wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil in
the gasoline), a dirty air filter and
unfavorable running conditions (mostly
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition
of the spark plug. These factors cause
deposits to form on the insulator nose
which may result in trouble in operation.
Removing the Spark Plug
N Shut off the engine.
N Remove the spark plug boot (1).
N Unscrew the spark plug (2).
