Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check that the air
fi
lter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the
cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close
(clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting
attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw
until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle
speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the
rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment,
contact HITACHI dealer.
WARNING
When the engine is idling the cutting attachment must under no
circumstances rotate.
NOTE
Do not touch the High speed adjustment (H) and the Low speed
adjustment (L).
Those are only for HITACHI dealer.
If you rotate them, It will cause a serious damage to the machine.
Air
fi
lter (Fig. 31)
The air
fi
lter (40) must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:
○
Carburetor
malfunctions.
○
Starting
problems.
○
Engine power reduction.
○
Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.
○
Abnormal fuel consumption.
Clean the air
fi
lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally
dusty areas.
Remove the air
fi
lter cover (41) and the
fi
lter (40).
Rinse them in warm soap suds. Check that the
fi
lter is dry before
reassembly. An air
fi
lter that has been used for some time cannot be
cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a
new one. A damaged
fi
lter must always be replaced.

Spark plug (Fig. 32)
The spark plug condition is in
fl
uenced by:
○
An incorrect carburetor setting.
○
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○
A dirty air
fi
lter.
○
Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting di
ffi
culties. If the engine is
low on power, di
ffi
cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always
check the spark plug
fi
rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check
the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm.
The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours
or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug
for replacement.
Oiler port (Fig. 33)
Clean the chain oiler port (42) whenever possible.

Side case (Fig. 35)
Always keep the side case and drive area clean of saw dust and
debris. Periodically apply oil or grease to this area to protect from
corrosion as some trees contain high levels of acid.

Fuel
fi
lter (Fig. 36)
Remove the fuel
fi
lter from the fuel tank and thoroughly wash it in
solvent. After that, push the
fi
lter into the tank completely.
