8.3 ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED
1. When the engine tends to stop frequently at
idling mode, turn the adjusting screw
clockwise.
2. When the cutting head keeps rotating after
releasing the trigger, turn the adjusting screw
counter-clockwise.
NOTE
Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling
speed.
NOTE
OVERCHOKING
• Should the engine become flooded due to
over-choking set the ignition switch to the STOP (2),
unscrew the spark plug, wipe it dry or replace, pull
the recoil starter several times without the spark
plug in place and with the choke in the open position.
This will help clean and ventilate the combustion
chamber.
8.2 STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Set the engine to idling by releasing the throttle
lever.
• Set the ignition switch to the STOP (2) position.
• If the engine fails to stop, set the choke lever to the
closed position to stall the engine; do not use the
unit until the ignition switch is repaired.
RUNNING IN
• During the first ten hours of work, avoid running the
engine at maximum speed for a prolonged period
until all the components have bedded in. After the
engine has been run-in, it will reach its maximum
power.
IMPORTANT
Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine
while pulling the throttle lever.
