SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
HOW TO ADJUST THE CARBURETOR
A dirty air cleaner will cause the engine to run improperly or to smoke excessively. Be- fore adjusting the carburetor, make sure the air cleaner is clean. Never make unneces- sary adjustments to the carburetor. The car- buretor was set at the factory to operate efficiently under most applications. However, if adjustments are required, we recommend you contact an Authorized Service Center. If you feel that you are competent to make car- buretor adjustment proceed as follows.
1.Lower the wheels to the transport posi- tion.
2.Locate the idle speed adjustment screw (see Figure 15). Turn the idle ad- justment screw 1/4 turn counterclock- wise (to the left).
3.Start the engine and release the throttle control.
4.Tilt the cultivator back on the wheels or stake so that the tines are off the ground. In correct adjustment, the tines will not rotate when the throttle is released. If the tines turn, repeat step 2.
WARNING: The engine gover- nor is set at the factory. Do not change the governor setting.
Over speeding the engine above the fac- tory setting can be dangerous. If you think the engine governor needs an ad- justment, contact an Authorized Service Center.
