Carburettor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
Function
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct
adjustment is essential to get the best performance
from the machine.
•
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.
Adjusting the idle speed
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If
the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.
Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T, if
adjustment is necessary. First turn the idle adjustment
screw T clockwise until the blades start to move. Then
turn the idle adjustment screw T anticlockwise until the
blades stop. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the
engine runs smoothly in every position. There should also
be a clear margin to the speed at which the blades start
to move. The blades must also remain stationary when
the choke control is in the start throttle position.
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.
Muffler
CAUTION!
Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible
material.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done
with a wire brush.
On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should
be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers
fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be
checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly.
If the mesh
is damaged it should be replaced.
If the mesh is
frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the
performance of the catalytic converter is impaired.
Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked
mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in
damage to the cylinder and piston.
CAUTION!
Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
!
WARNING! The complete clutch cover
and gear housing must be fitted before
the machine is started, otherwise the
clutch may come loose and cause
personal injury.
!
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops, contact your dealer/service
workshop. Do not use the machine until
it has been correctly adjusted or
repaired.
!
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.
This also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of fire!
