MAINTENANCE
• Mount the cutting arm with the blade cover.
• Tighten the drive belt.
The movement limiters are fitted last. Clamp together the
plates as illustrated.
• Fit the blades. See instructions under the heading
"Blades".
Carburettor
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 necessar
y, 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
Changing a broken or worn 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 per
iphery of the starter pulley. When the cord is intact:
Release the spring tension by letting the pulley rotate
slowly backwards.
• Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check
that the retur
n spring works. Insert the new starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord
pulley.
Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as illustrated.
Tighten the fastening well and ensure that the free end is as
short as possible. Secure the end of the starter cord in the
starter handle.
NOTICE! Make sure the screw holes on the bar are aligned
with the holes on the belt cover. The edges of the upper
cover must lie inside the edges of the lower.
!
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.
