mixture under most operating
conditions.
Adjusting idle speed
Engine stops while idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly clockwise until the engine
runs smoothly.
Cutting tool rotates when engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly counterclockwise until the
cutting attachment stops moving.
At temperatures below +10°C
Preheating the carburetor
Repositioning a shutter allows heated air
to be drawn in from around the cylinder
and mixed with cold air – this helps
prevent carburetor icing.
An arrow (1) on the shroud indicates the
setting of the shutter (2) for summer or
winter operation. Meaning of symbols:
– "Sun" = summer operation
– "Snowflake" = winter operation
N Remove the screw (3) from the
shutter.
N Pull the shutter (2) out of the
shroud.
N Rotate the shutter (2) from the
summer position to the winter
position and refit it.
N Secure the shutter in position with
the screw (3).
At temperatures between +10°C and
+20°C
The machine can normally be operated
in this temperature range with the
shutter (2) in the summer position.
Change the position of the shutter if
necessary.
