engine will be run-in. To ensure that it continues to run at peak
performance and to minimise harmful exhaust emissions after
the running-in period, ask your dealer/service workshop (who
will have a rev counter at their disposal) to adjust your
carburettor.

Function
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The carburettor governs the engineOs 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.
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is adapted to
local operating conditions, e.g. climate, altitude, petrol and the
type of 2-stroke oil.

Muf�er
The muf�er is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases
