Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed
and manufactured to specifications that re-
duce harmful emissions. After the engine
has used 8--10 tanks of fuel, the engine will
be run--in. To ensure that it continues to run
at peak performance and to minimize harm-
ful exhaust emissions after the run--in peri-
od, ask your servicing dealer to adjust your
carburetor.
The owner is responsible
f
or the per

mance of all required maintenance as
defined in the operator’s manual.

Function
S The carburetor governs the engine’s
speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel
are m ixed in the carburetor.
S The T--screw regulates the throttle setting
at idle speed. If the T--screw is turned
clockwise t his gives a higher idle speed;
turning it counterclockwise gives a lower
idle speed.
Basic setting
S The basic carburetor settings are ad-
justed during testing at the factory. Fine
adjustment should be carried out by a
skilled technician.
Rec. idle speed:
See “Technical data” section.
Recommended max. speed:
See “Technical data” section.
Fine adjustment of the idle speed-- T
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjust-
ment screw--T if it is necessary to readjust.
First, turn the idle adjustment screw--T
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts
to rotate. Then, turn the screw counter-
clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.
The idle speed is correctly adjusted when
the engine will run smoothly in every posi-
tion. The idle speed should also be well
below the speed at which the cutting attach-
ment starts to rotate.
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates
when the engine is idling the idle adjustment
screw T should be turned counterclockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.

Unit/Maintenance Safety
Disconnect the spark plug before perform-
ing maintenance, except carburetor adjust-
ments.
Muffler
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 com-
bustible material.
Mufflers are equipped with a special spark
arrestor mesh. You should clean the m esh
at least once a m onth. This is best done
withawirebrush.If the mesh is damaged
it should be replaced. A blocked mesh
will cause the machine to overheat and re-
sult in damage to the cylinder and piston.
Muffler bolts
CAUTION! Never u se a m achine that has
a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler
bolts are tight.
