MAINTENANCE

gas at the same time as the machine “4-cycles” much, the setting is too rich. Turn the high speed needle H until the setting sounds correct.

H

For optimum setting of the carburetor, contact a qualified servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at his disposal.

Correctly adjusted carburettor

When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little at max speed. It is also important that the chain does not rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the H-jet is set too lean the machine will have less power, poor acceleration and could suffer damage to the engine. If the L and H-jets are set too rich it will lead to acceleration problems or too low a working speed.

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.

Changing a broken or worn starter cord

•Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the crankcase and remove the starter.

•Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

•Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley.

Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the centre of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Make a secure knot in the end of the starter cord.

Tensioning the recoil spring

•Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.

CAUTION! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.

Changing a broken recoil spring

•Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading Changing a broken or worn starter cord.

•Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by tapping the pulley lightly with its inside face downwards against a work bench or the like. If the spring pops out during fitting, wind it up again, working from the outside in towards centre.

•Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and tension the recoil spring.
