IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
a WARNING: Keep others away when making idle

and observe all safety precautions.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory.
Adjustment of the idle speed may be necessary if you
notice any of the following conditions:

attachment is off the ground and will not make contact
with any object. Hold the unit by hand while running and
making adjustments. Keep all parts of your body away
from the cutting attachment and muffler.
TO ADJUST IDLE SPEED:
Start engine and allow to warm up 4-5 minutes while heavy
cutting, or 10-15 minutes moderate cutting. Allow engine
to idle. Adjust speed until engine runs without stalling (idle
speed too slow).

speed if engine stalls or dies.
• Turn idle speed screw counterclockwise to decrease
engine speed.
If you require further assistance or are unsure about
performing this procedure, contact an authorized service
dealer or call customer support.
