CARBURETOR ADJ UST MEN T

WARNING: Keep others away when

making idle speed adjustments. The blade

will be moving during most of this procedure.

Wear your protective equipment and observe

all safety precautions. When making adjust-

ments, use a screwdriver short enough to

keep your hands behind the handguard and

away from the blade. After making adjust-

ments, the blade must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the

factory . Adjustments may be necessary if you

notice any of the following conditions:

S Engine will not idle when the throttle is re-

leased.

S The blade moves at idle. Keep others away

when making idle speed adjustments.

Make adjustments with the unit resting on a

level surface free of debris that can be caught

in the hedge trimmer blade. Serious injury to

the operator and others can occur if the car-

buretor is not properly adjusted. Keep all

parts of your body away from the blade and

muffler.

Idle Speed Adjustment

Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine

runs without blade moving (idle too fast) or en-

gine stalling (idle speed too slow).

S Turn idle speed screw clockwise to in-

crease engine speed if engine stalls or dies.

S Turn idle speed screw counterclockwise to

decrease engine speed if the blade moves

at idle.

WARNING: Recheck the idle speed

after each adjustment. The blade must not

move at idle speed to avoid serious injury to

the operator or others.
