CHECKING
Warning:
Do not carry out repairs on this machine if you
are not qualified to do so with the exemption of the items
listed in this maintenance section.
10.1 CARBURETTOR ADJUSTMENT
Warning:
During this operation the cutting means will be
moving. Observe all necessary safety precautions.
Note:
The cutting means MUST NOT move while the
engine is at idle speed.
The carburettor has been set at standard values during
manufacture. Adjustments to these values may be
required if the cutting means moves at idle or the machine
will not idle. To adjust, start the engine and idle to warm
up. If the engine stalls, the idle speed is too slow, if the
cutting means moves the idle speed is too fast. Using a
plain slot screwdriver, turn adjustment screw
clockwise to increase idle speed or anti-clockwise to
decrease.
Stop the engine, allow to cool and disconnect the spark
plug ignition lead before carrying out maintenance or
adjustment on this machine.
10.2 AIR FILTER
A clogged air filter both reduces the efficiency of the
engine and cutting, but also increases fuel consumption.
Remove air filter cover (AH) by unscrewing knob (AI). Lift
off cover being careful of the choke lever and locating
tabs.
Remove the air filter and clean in warm soapy water. Allow
to dry completely before refitting. Always replace the filter
if it is damaged or when dirt cannot be washed out.
10.3 SPARK PLUG
The spark plug should be replaced annually or when the
brush cutter has problems starting.
Unscrew and remove the spark plug cover to revel the
spark plug.
Carefully pull off the spark plug HT lead.
Using the box spanner supplied unscrew the plug
anti-clockwise.
Note:
Ensure the spark plug has the correct heat range for
this machine.
If the electrodes are excessively soiled or are very worn,
replace with a suitable equivalent plug.
Excessive soiling can be due to the ratio of oil to fuel is too
high. Or not the appropriate type or the air filter is partially
clogged.
Note:
The spark plug gap should be 0.6mm. Use feeler
gauge to check the gap.
