S Engine will not idle when the throttle is released.

S The trimmer head, blade or optional attachment moves/spins at idle.

Idle Speed Adjustment

Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until engine runs without trimmer head, blade or optional attachment moving or spinning (idle too fast) or stalling (idle speed too slow).

S Turn idle speed screw clockwise to increase engine speed if engine stalls or dies.

STurn idle speed screw counterclockwise to decrease engine speed if trimmer head, blade or optional attachment moves or spins at idle.

WARNING: Recheck the idle speed after each adjustment. The trimmer head, blade or optional attachment must not move or spin at idle speed to avoid serious injury to the operator or others.
