8-ENGLISH
Your machine can be equipped with a low emission
carburetor. We recommend that you have any
adjustment of the carburetor made exclusively by an
authorized service center, which disposes of special
equipment for ensuring the best performance with the
lowest emissions. To adjust the speed to the minimum,
turn the screw marked (
T
) as shown: With the engine
running and well warmed up, turn the screw (
T
) gently
clockwise, until the engine rotates at regular speed (stead
noise), without the cutting devices in motion. If the cutting
devices are moving, turn the screw (
T
) gently
counterclockwise until you obtain the proper adjustment.
The correct minimum speed is shown in the instruction
manual in the paragraph of technical data.
The warranty may be invalidated due to erroneous
adjustments made by personnel not belonging to
authorized service centers.
Check periodically to see that all the screws in the
machine are securely fastened in place. Replace
damaged, worn, cracked or bent blades. Always make
sure the blade or nylon string head is correctly installed
and the nut holding the blade is tight.
L1. Cleaning the air filter
(At least every 25 hours of work). A clogged filter causes
alteration of the carburetor adjustment, reducing power
and increasing fuel consumption, as well as causing
difficulties in startup. Open the cover on the filter as
shown in the figure by pressing in the point indicated by
the arrow for release. Clean the inside of the filter housing
thoroughly (fig.
L2
). The filter can be cleaned using gentle
jets of compressed air. For more thorough cleaning it can
be washed in soapy water.
L3. Gearbox
Every 50 working hours add grease for high speed gears
in the gearbox, through the hole (
C
).
L4. Spark plug
Periodically (at least every 50 hours) remove and clean
the spark plug and set the space between the electrodes
(0.5/0.6 mm). Replace it if excessively encrusted or, in
any case, after 100 working hours. In case of excessive
encrustation check the carburetor adjustment, the
percentage of oil in the fuel mixture and make sure the oil
is of excellent quality and suitable for two-stroke engines.
L5. Fuel filter
To clean or replace the filter, remove the cap on the tank
and take the filter out using a hook or long-nose pliers.
Periodically, every season, contact your service center
for general maintenance and cleaning of the inside. This
will reduce the possibility of unexpected problems and
will ensure the good performance and long life of your
machine.
L6. Attachments maintenance (for split shaft models
only)
Follow maintenance instructions on the attachment
manual.
