ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED
If the engine will not idle properly:
1. Start the engine. Refer to
Starting and Stopping
.
2. Release the throttle control and let the engine idle.
•
If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle
speed screw clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine idles smoothly (Fig. 29).
•
If the cutting head spins when the engine idles, reduce the idle speed. Turn the idle speed
screw counterclockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the cutting head stops moving (Fig. 29).
WARNING:
The cutting head may spin during idle speed adjustments. Wear
protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will VOID the warranty.
7. Close the air filter cover: insert the tabs on the air filter housing into the slots on the air filter cover.
Swing the air filter cover down and press it closed until the lock tab snaps into place (Fig. 28).
