) Insert the shaft (
A
) into the engine joint (
B
)
making the female squared end (
C
) inside the
joint mates with the male squared end (
D
) of
the shaft.
Rotate the shaft from right to left to obtain a
precise fit. Now tighten the locking bolt (
E
)
clockwise to ensure the shaft is held firmly in
the joint.
2)
If the joint is not tightened onto the engine
housing, first make sure the shaft is fully and
correctly engaged up to the shank, then tighten
the 4 screws (
A
) in a criss-cross sequence.

Insert the throttle cable into the cable mount
(
C
), install the second washer (
B
) and insert the
hexagonal nut.
4)
Fit the end of the trigger cable connector (

into the slot on swivel (
C
).
5)
Adjust the nut (
D
) of the trigger cable connector
so that the cable can easily slide in the opening
with a play of 1 mm before operating the swivel (
C
).
Tighten now the hexagonal nut (
E
).
6)
Stop switch (
STOP
) cable: fit the connection.

L. CARBURETTOR ADJUSTMENT
Your machine may be fitted with a highly

To adjust the idle speed, however, proceed as
follows:
With engine running and warm, slowly turn screw
‘I’ or ‘T’ clockwise until the engine runs smoothly
with a consistent noise level but without making
the chain or cutting head rotate.
If the cutting attachment does move or the engine
