MAINTENANCE
Carburetor Adjustment
This engine is designed and manufactured in order to comply with
EPA (Environmental protection Agency) Phase 1 regulations. The
carburetor is factory set and should not require adjusting.
Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the air filter (A, Fig.39) and
warm up the engine.
Idle Speed Adjustment
• If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle; turn
the idle speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle speed (Fig.
40).
• If the hedge trimmer turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw “T”
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the blade
movement. If the blade still moves at idle speed, contact a
Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made.
WARNING: Don’t tamper with the carburetor.
WARNING: With the engine idling (2800 rpm), the
blade should not move. We recommend that you
have the dealer or an authorised mechanic carry out
any carburetor adjustments.
WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may
affect carburation.
WARNING: Do not allow anyone to stay close to the
hedge trimmer while working or while adjusting the
carburetor.
Fuel Filter
Check the fuel filter (B, Fig. 41) periodically. Replace it if contami-
nated or damaged.
Air Filter
WARNING: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvent to avoid creating a fire hazard or
producing harmful evaporative emissions.
Open air filter cover (C, Fig. 42) and check the air filter (D) each
day; shake the filter. Reinstall the air filter. Close the air filter cover.
An used air filter can never be completely cleaned. It is advisable
to replace your air filter with a new one after six month of opera-
tion.
CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air filter,
serious damage could result.
Make sure the air filter is correctly placed in the air
filter cover before reassembly.
Always replace damaged filters.
Do not clean a filter with a brush.
