if the forces are sufficiently high. The
hand guard is accelerated toward the
bar nose - even if your left hand is not
behind the hand guard, e.g. during a

At temperatures below +50 °F,
preheat carburetor as follows:
Semi-professional
users (in agriculture
and construction):
:
Remove the carburetor box cover –
Check operation of chain brake
Before starting work:
inside the carburetor box cover:
every 6
months
:
Move the shutter from summer
position (1) to winter position (2).
Heated air is now drawn in from around
the cylinder and mixed with cold air –
this helps prevent carburetror icing.
Run engine at idle speed, engage the
chain brake (push hand guard toward
bar nose). Accelerate up to full throttle
for no more than 3 seconds – the chain
must not rotate. The hand guard must be
free from dirt and move freely.
Hobby and
occasional users:
every 12
months
:
At temperatures above +70 °F:
Return shutter to summer position.
This is essential to avoid engine
running problems and overheating.
Machines with HD filter:
:
Install a standard filter in place of
the HD-Filter.
:
Refit the carburetor box cover and
tighten down the twist lock.
