CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:

Keep others away when

making idle speed adjustments. The chain

will be moving during most of this procedure.

Wear your protective equipment and observe

all safety precautions. After making adjust-

ments, the chain must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the

factory. Adjustment to the idle speed may be

necessary if you notice any of the following

conditions:

S

Engine will not idle when the throttle is re-

leased.

S

The chain moves at idle.

Make adjustments with the unit supported so

the pruner is off the ground and the chain will

not make contact with any object. Hold the

unit by hand while running and making adjust-

ments. Keep all parts of your body away from

the chain and muffler.

Idle Speed Screw

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

Allow engine to idle. Adjust idle speed until en-

gine runs without chain moving (idle too fast)

or stalling (idle speed too slow).

S

Turn idle speed screw clockwise to in-

crease engine speed if engine stalls or dies.

S

Turn idle speed screw counterclockwise to

decrease engine speed if chain moves at idle.

WARNING:

Recheck the idle speed

after each adjustment. The chain must not

move at idle speed to avoid serious injury to

the operator or others.

If you require further assistance or are unsure

about performing this procedure, contact your

authorized

service

dealer

or

call

1--800--554--6723.

STORAGE

WARNING:

Perform the following

steps after each use:

S

Allow engine to cool before storing or trans-

porting.

S

Store unit and fuel in a well ventilated area

where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or

open flames from water heaters, electric

motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

S

Store unit with all guards in place. Position

unit so that any sharp object cannot acci-

dentally cause injury.

S

Store unit and fuel well out of the reach of

children.

SEASONAL STORAGE

Prepare unit for storage at end of season or if

it will not be used for 30 days or more.

If your unit is to be stored for a period of time:

S

Clean the entire unit before lengthy

storage.

S

Store in a clean dry area.

S

Lightly oil external metal surfaces.

FUEL SYSTEM

Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-

TION section of this manual, see message la-

beled IMPORTANT regarding the use of ga-

sohol in your engine.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits

during storage. Add stabilizer to the gasoline

in the fuel tank or fuel storage container. Fol-

low the mix instructions found on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 5 minutes after

adding stabilizer.

HELPFUL TIP

During storage of your gas/

oil mixture, the oil will sepa-

rate from the gas.

We recommend that you

shake the gas can weekly

to insure proper blending of

the gas and oil.

ENGINE

S

Remove spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of

40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) through

the spark plug opening. Slowly pull the

starter rope 8 to 10 times to distribute oil.

S

Replace spark plug with new one of recom-

mended type and heat range.

S

Clean air filter.

S

Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts,

and bolts. Replace any damaged, broken,

or worn parts.

S

At the beginning of the next season, use

only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to

oil ratio.

OTHER

S

Do not store gasoline from one season to

another.

S

Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
