Idle Adjustment

Before adjustment make sure that:

Air filter is clean and properly installed.

Spark arrestor screen is free of carbon.

Blower pipes are installed.

1.Start engine, run at idle for 2-3 minutes.

2.Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is available, idle speed screw should be set to the specifications found on Page 6 “Specifi- cations” of this manual. Turn idle screw clockwise to increase idle speed; counter clockwise to decrease idle speed.

Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the following procedures to prepare it for storage:

Clean external parts thoroughly.

Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.

IMPORTANT!

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard starting and could also lead to increased service and maintenance cost.

Remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburetor.

1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.

2. Start and run the engine until it stops running.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.

Remove the spark plug and pour about 1/4 ounce of engine oil into the cyl- inder through the spark plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the interior of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.

Remove the air cleaner element from the carburetor and clean it thorough- ly with soap and water. Let dry and reassemble the element.

Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.
