CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
OPERATING THE POWER HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING
Read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page (4) concerning the proper use of the Hedge Trimmer.
The BUSH RANGER Hedge Trimmers is designed for cutting and trimming foliage and small branches up
to 7 mm in diameter. Although the BUSH RANGER Hedge Trimmer is capable of cutting larger diameter
branches, wear and tear of the machine would be proportionally increased.
CAUTION
Always wear gloves and protective clothing when operating the Hedge Trimmer.
If the cutting blades become jammed, stop the engine immediately. Make certain all moving parts have
stopped and disconnect the spark plug before inspecting the equipment for damage. Never use a Power
Hedge Trimmer that has chipped, cracked, or broken cutting blades.
This Hedge Trimmer is equipped with non-adjustable fuel mixture carburetor. The engine idle speed is the
only adjustment to the Operator.
The cutting blades may be moving during idle speed adjustment. Wear the recommended personal
protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. Keep hands and body away from blade area.
Engine Idle Speed:
When the throttle trigger is released the engine should
return to an idle speed which is 2700 ~3300 rpm or just
below clutch engagement speed. The cutting blades must
not move and the engine should not stall (stop running) at
engine idle speed.
The engine idle speed is adjusted by rotating the idle speed
screw on the carburetor. Turning the idle speed screw in
(clockwise) increases engine speed while turning the screw
out decreases engine speed.
If idle speed adjustment is necessary and after adjustment
the cutting blades move or the engine stalls,
stop using
the Hedge Trimmer immediately!
Contact your local authorized BUSHRANGER Dealer for
assistance and servicing.
