MAINTENANCE
Carburettor
The muffler on your machine is equipped with a spark arrestor
mesh, this should be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious
damage.
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and
!
shaft must be fitted before the machine is
started, otherwise the clutch can come loose
and cause personal injury.
Function
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is
essential to get the best performance from the machine.
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters get very hot during use and
remain so for some time after stopping.This
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of
fire!
!
•
Adjusting the carburettor involves adapting the engine to
suit local conditions, e.g. climate, altitude and the petrol.
Basic setting
Cooling system
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at
the factory.
The carburettor should be adjusted to prevent damaging the
engine when the machine is always used at altitudes over
1500
metres above seal level.
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a
revolution counter at their disposal.
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops, contact your dealer/service
!
workshop. Do not use the machine until it
has been correctly adjusted or repaired.
Muffler
The cooling system consists of:
1
2
3
4
Air intake on the starter.
Fins on the flywheel.
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic
converter.See chapter on Technical data to see whether your
machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.
Cooling fins on the cylinder.
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire
if directed against dry and combustible material.
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difficulties.
