cutting attachment starts to
rotate/move.
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly
adjusted or repaired.
High speed needle H
The high speed needle
affects the machineOs power,
speed, temperature and fuel
consumption. A too lean
adjustment on the high
speed needle H (the high
speed needle H is screwed in
too much) gives a too high
speed resulting in engine
damage. Do not allow the
engine to run at full speed
for more than 10 seconds.
Apply full throttle and turn
the high speed needle H
slowly anticlockwise until
the engine runs unevenly.
The high speed needle H is
then turned slowly clockwise
a little until the engine runs
smoothly. Note the engine
should be run unloaded
when adjusting the highH
speed needle. Therefore
dismantle the cutting
equipment, nut, support
flange and disc drive before
adjusting the high speed
needle. The high speed
needle is adjusted correctly when the machine �splattersO a little.
If the machine smokes heavily at the same time as it �splattersO
heavily the adjustment is too rich.
NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburettor, contact a
qualified servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at his
disposal.
