turning it counterclockwise gives a lower
idle speed.

Unit/Maintenance Safety
Disconnect the spark plug before perform-
ing maintenance, except carburetor adjust-

Muffler
CAUTION! Muf fler is fitted with a catalytic
converter designed to reduce harmful ex-
haust gases.
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. The mesh should be
checked and, if necessary. cleaned by a
servicing dealer. If the mesh is damaged,
it should be replaced. Ifthemeshisfre-
quently blocked, this can be a sign that the
performance of the catalytic converter is
impaired. Contact your servicing dealer to
inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will
cause the machine to overheat and result
in damage to the cylinder and piston.
