Fine adjustment of the idle speed T
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment 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 anticlockwise until the cutting attachment
stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine
will run smoothly in every position. The idle speed should
also be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment
starts to rotate.
High speed jet H
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed,
temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is
set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too
high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at
full speed for more than 10 seconds.
Note that the engine should be loaded when you adjust the
high speed jet H. You should therefore fit the trimmer head
T35 (2.7 mm cord) before adjusting the high speed jet. The
cord length should be standard, i.e. to the knife on the
trimmer guard.
Apply full throttle and turn the high speed jet H very slowly
clockwise until the engine slows down. Then turn the high
speed jet H very slowly anticlockwise until the engine starts
to run unevenly. Now turn the high speed jet H slowly
clockwise a little way until the engine runs smoothly.
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a
revolution counter at their disposal.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine will
accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at maximum
speed. It is also important that the cutting attachment does
not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is set too lean it may
cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration.
If the high speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less
power, less performance, poor acceleration and/or damage
to the engine.
If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in
acceleration problems or too low a working speed.
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
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the screen at least once a week. This is best done with
a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalytic converter the
screen should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary.
On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter the screen
should be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly.
If the
screen is damaged it should be replaced.
If the screen is
!
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.
