Carburettor

Adjustment of the idle speed
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. Make sure the
start throttle position is disengaged.
Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T, if
adjustment is necessary. First turn the idle adjustment
screw T clockwise until the blades start to move. Then
turn the idle adjustment screw T anticlockwise until the
blades stop. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the
engine runs smoothly in every position. There should also
be a clear margin to the speed at which the blades start
to move.
Recommended idle speed: See the Technical data
section.
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
!
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops, contact your dealer/service
workshop. Do not use the machine until
it has been correctly adjusted or
repaired.

MAINTENANCE

Muffler
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible
material.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done
with a wire brush.
On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should
be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers
fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be
checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh
is damaged it should be replaced. If the mesh is
frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the carburettor
is incorrectly adjusted or that too much oil has been mixed
with the petrol.
On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter, the mesh
must be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If
the mesh is damaged it must be replaced. If the mesh
is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the
performance of the catalytic converter is impaired.
Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked
mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in
damage to the cylinder and piston.
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
!
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
