Idle Speed Adjustment
This Trimmer is equipped with non-adjustable fuel mixture
carburetor. The idle speed is the only adjustment for the operator.
The cutting attachment may be rotating during idle speed adjustment. Wear the recommended
personal protective equipment and observe all safety instructions. Keep hands and body away from
the cutting attachment.
When the throttle trigger is released, the engine should return to an idle speed just below the clutch
engagement speed. The cutting attachment must not rotate and the engine should not stall (stop
running) at engine idle speed.
To adjust the engine idle speed, rotate the idle speed adjustment screw on the carburetor.
・
Turn the idle speed screw in (clockwise) to increase the engine idle speed.
・
Turn the screw out (counterclockwise) to decrease the engine idle speed.
If idle speed adjustment is necessary, and after adjustment the cutting attachment rotates or
the engine stalls, stop using the Trimmer immediately!
Contact your local authorized PLP Dealer for assistance and servicing.
