Before reinstalling the filter, inspect the fuel line. If you discover damage or dete- rioration, the unit should be removed from service unitl it can be inspected by a Swisher-trained service technician.

If the unit does not return to idle speed or doesen’t reach full rpm, the throttle lever free play may need to be adjusted as follows:

1.Measure free play at the end of the throt- tle lever. Throttle lever free play should be approximately 5-7 mm (0.2-0.275”).

2.If adjustment is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover by loosening the two thumbscrews. Loosen the cable adjuster lock nut and turn the cable adjustment fit- ting in or out until throttle lever free play is approximately 5-7 mm (0.2-0.275”).

WARNING!

The cutter blades are very sharp! Always wear gloves when working around the cutter assembly.

Cutting performance of your machine depends a great deal on proper cutter blade adjustment. Properly adjusted blades will oscillate freely yet help pre- vent binding of cut material between blades. Adjust blades as follows:

1.Loosen all blade locknuts at least one full turn.

2.Tighten each blade shoulder bolt firmly, and then loosen the shoulder bolts 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

CAUTION!

Operating the trimmer with worn or improperly adjusted cutters will reduce cutter performance and may also dam- age your machine. Never operate the machine with damaged or worn cutters.

3.Working from the gearcase end, lock each bolt in place by firmly tightening its locknut while preventing the shoul- der bolt from turning.

When shoulder bolt adjustment is cor- rect, there should be a gap of 0.25–0.50

mmbetween the cutter blades and the flat washers, and the flat washer beneath each bolt head should turn freely.
