MAINTENANCE
Fine adjustment of the idle speed T
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The idle speed should also be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
WARNING! 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.
High speed jet H (GR41, GR50, RS44)
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed, temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at full speed for more than 10 seconds.
Apply full throttle and turn the high speed jet H very slowly clockwise until the engine slows down. Then turn the high speed jet H very slowly anticlockwise until the engine starts to run unevenly. Now turn the high speed jet H slowly clockwise a little way until the engine runs smoothly.
H
Note that the engine should not be under load when you adjust the high speed jet H. You should therefore remove the cutting attachment, nut, support flange and drive disc before adjusting the high speed jet H.
The high speed jet H is adjusted correctly when the machine burbles a little. If the machine races then the setting is too lean. If the engine produces a lot of smoke and burbles a lot then the setting is too rich.
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a revolution counter at their disposal.
High speed jet H (RS52)
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed, temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at full speed for more than 10 seconds.
Setting procedure without a load (Blade can be used)
The machine is equipped with speed control in the ignition system. It is extremely important to be aware of this when adjusting the carburettor.
RS52: Speed control at: 13500 rpm
When attempting to adjust the speed over that specified, the speed is not changed, but only causes the engine to receive too little fuel resulting in a large risk of engine failure.
Run the machine warm for approximately 5 minutes alternating between short intervals of full throttle and idling. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full throttle and turn the
H
Setting procedure with a load (Trimmer head should be used)
Ensure the length of the trimmer cord is correct, i.e. exactly reaches the knife on the trimmer guard. Use either 3 mm or 3.3 mm diameter trimmer cord.
Run the machine warm for about 5 minutes mostly at full throttle. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full throttle and turn the
H
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a revolution counter at their disposal.
Correctly adjusted carburettor
When the carburettor is correctly adjusted the machine will accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at maximum speed. It is also important that the cutting attachment does not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is set too lean it may cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the high speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less power, less performance, poor acceleration and/or damage to the engine. If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in acceleration problems or too low a working speed.
