MAINTENANCE
Fine adjustment of the idle speedT
Setting procedure with a load (Trimmer head
should be used)
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is
necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then
turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment
stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine
will run smoothly in every position.The idle speed should also
be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts
to rotate.
Ensure the length of the trimmer cord is correct, i.e. exactly
reaches the knife on the trimmer guard. Use either 3 mm or
3.3 mm diameter trimmer cord.
Run the machine warm for about 5 minutes mostly at full
throttle. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full
throttle and turn the H-needle anti-clockwise until the engine
burbles or until the cap reaches its stop position.(If the engine
runs smoothly when the cap is in its stop position no further
adjustment is necessary!) Turn the H-needle slowly clockwise
until the engine runs absolutely smoothly. (Burbling has
stopped completely). Now screw the H-needle (anti-
clockwise) a few tenths of a turn.
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.
CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor,
contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a
revolution counter at their disposal.
High speed jet H
Correctly adjusted carburetor
The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed,
temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is
set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too
high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at
full speed for more than 10 seconds.
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine will
accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at maximum
speed. It is also important that the cutting attachment does
not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is set too lean it may
cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the high
speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less power, less
performance, poor acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in
acceleration problems or too low a working speed.
Setting procedure without a load (Blade can be
used)
The machine is equipped with speed control in the ignition
system. It is extremely important to be aware of this when
adjusting the carburettor.
Adjusting the start throttle speed (343FR,
343R,
345RX)
343R,
343F,
345RX: Speed control at: 12500 rpm
343FR, 345FX, 345FXT: Speed control at: 13500 rpm
The correct start throttle speed is set by means of an adjuster
on the rear of the handle next to the cable. Use this screw (5
mm Allen screw) to increase or decrease the start throttle
speed.
When attempting to adjust the speed over that specified, the
speed is not changed, but only causes the engine to receive
too little fuel resulting in a large risk of engine failure.
Run the machine warm for approximately 5 minutes
alternating between short intervals of full throttle and idling.
When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full throttle and
turn the H-needle anti-clockwise until the engine speed
reaches 10,500-11,000 r/min (burbles) or until the cap
reaches its stop position. Now turn the H-needle slowly
clockwise until the engine reaches the speed when the speed
control comes into force. In some cases, speed control can
come into force at 200-300 revs below or above that specified.
It is important that you do not continue to turn the H-needle
clockwise when the engine speed has stabilised. Screw the
H-needle (anti-clockwise) a few tenths of a turn instead.
Proceed as follows:
1
2
Run the machine at idle.
Press the start throttle lock as described under the
heading Starting and stopping.
3
If the start throttle speed is too low (below 4000 rpm), turn
the adjuster screw A clockwise until the cutting
attachment starts to rotate. Then turn A clockwise a
further 1/2 turn.
