In case of excessive fuel intake, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also, dry the
electrode section of the spark plug.
Caution during operation:
If the throttle lever is opened fully in a no-load operation, the engine rotation is increased to 10,000rpm or more. Never operate the engine at a
higher speed than required and at an approximate speed of 6,000 - 8,000rpm.
Starting the warm engine

push the I-O switch (1) to “O” position the engine will now stop.

Checking the Idling speed
– Idle speed should be set to 3,000rpm.
If necessary correct it by means of the idle screw (the blade or the nylon
cutting head must not turn when the engine is on idle).
Screwing in the screw (1) will cause an increase in the engine speed,
whereas backing off the screw will reduce the engine speed.
