Maintenance of the gearbox (Fig. 15)
The gearbox must be lubricated every year before
the start of the season at the lubrication nipple
(Fig. 15/Item A). Place a conventional grease gun on
the nipple and press approx. 3 strokes of conventional
machine grease into the gearbox. If you use the
trimmer frequently, grease the gearbox more often.
Carburetor settings
Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be made
by authorized customer service personnel. The air filter
cover must be removed before any work on the
carburetor, as shown in Figures 9 – 10.
Setting the throttle cable
If the maximum speed of the machine falls over time
and you have ruled out all the other causes listed in
section 13 Troubleshooting, it may be necessary to
adjust the throttle cable.
First of all check whether the carburetor opens fully
when the throttle handle is pressed fully. This is the case
if the carburetor slide (Fig. 16/Item 1) rests against the
stop (Fig. 16/Item 2) when the throttle is fully open.
Figure 16 shows the correct setting. If the carburetor
slide does not touch the stop, it must be adjusted.
The following work is required to adjust the throttle
cable:
•
Undo the lock nut (Fig. 17/Item 3) a few turns.
•
Undo the adjusting screw (Fig. 18/Item 4) until
the carburetor slide rests against the stop when
the throttle is fully open, as shown in Figure 16.
•
Retighten the lock nut.
