MAINTENANCE
• Press on the belt tensioner with your thumb to tension the
belt. Now tighten the screw holding the belt tensioner.
• Fit the belt cover.
Carburetor
The carburettor is equipped with fixed needles to ensure the
machine always receives the correct mixture of fuel and air.
When the engine lacks power or accelerates poorly, do the
following:
• Check the air filter and replace if necessary. When this
does not help, contact an authorised service workshop.
Adjusting the idle speed
• Start the engine and check the idling setting. When the
carburettor is set correctly the cutting blade should be still
while engine is idling.
• Adjust the idle speed using the T screw. When an
adjustment is necessary, first turn the screw clockwise
until the blade starts to rotate. Now turn the screw anti-
clockwise until the blade stops rotating.
Rec. idle speed: 2700 rpm
Starter
Checking the starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the cut-out in
the periphery of the starter pulley. When the cord is intact:
Release the spring tension by letting the pulley rotate
slowly backwards.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check
that the return spring works. Insert the new starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord
pulley.
!
CAUTION! 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.

WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound
up in the starter housing it is under tension
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and
cause personal injury.
Always be careful when changing the recoil
spring or the starter cord. Always wear
protective goggles.
