MAINTENANCE
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
WARNING.
The cutting head will move
when adjusting the idle speed. Wear all
protective clothing and keep all
bystanders, children, and pets at least
50 ft. away.
Make adjustments with the unit supported by hand
so that the cutting head does not contact the
ground or any object. Keep all parts of your body
away from the cutting head and muffler. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury.
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle
speed screw needs adjusting on the engine. Turn
the idle speed screw counterclockwise to reduce
the idle RPM and stop the cutting attachment
movement, Fig.29. If the cutting attachment still
moves at idle speed, contact customer support for
adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is
made.
WARNING.
The cutting attachment
should never turn at idle. Turn the idle
speed screw counterclockwise to reduce
the idle RPM and stop the cutting
attachment. Serious personal injury
could result from the cutting attachment
turning at idle.
FUEL CAP, TANK, AND LINES
WARNING.
Check for fuel leaks. A
leaking fuel cap, tank, or line is a fire
hazard and must be replaced
immediately. If you find any leaks,
correct the problem before using the
product. Failure to do so could result in
a fire that could cause serious personal
injury.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a
check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor
engine performance. If performance improves
when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may
be faulty or filter clogged. Replace the fuel cap if
required.
STORING THE PRODUCT
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved
for petrol. Run engine until it stops.
Clean all foreign material from the unit. Store it
in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to
children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should
be used up in other 2-cycle engine powered
equipment.
