CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Keep others away
when making idle speed adjustments. The trimmer head or any optional at-
tachment will be spinning during most of this procedure. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety pre- cautions. After making adjustments, the trimmer head or any optional attach- ment must not move/spin at idle speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the fol- lowing conditions:
•Engine will not idle when the throttle is released.
•The trimmer head or optional attach- ment moves/spins at idle.
Make adjustments with the unit sup- ported so the cutting attachment is off the ground and will not make contact with any object. Hold the unit by hand while running and making adjustments. Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting attachment and muffler.
Idle Speed Adjustment
Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine runs without trimmer head or optional attachment moving or spin- ning (idle too fast) or stalling (idle speed too slow).
•Turn idle speed screw clockwise to
increase engine speed if engine stalls or dies.
•Turn idle speed screw counterclock- wise to decrease engine speed if trimmer head or optional attachment moves or spins at idle.
_WARNING: | Recheck the idle |
speed after each adjustment. The trimmer head or optional attachment must not move or spin at idle speed to
avoid serious injury to the operator or others.
