CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER
NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions,the exhaust
port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may become blocked
with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore
performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service
technicians perform this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor must be replaced every 50 hours or yearly
to ensure proper performance of your product. Spark arrestors
may be in different locations depending on the model purchased.
Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the
spark arrestor for your model.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 19.
RLT430CES manual(TTIA).indd Sec2:8 RLT430CES manual(TTIA).indd Sec2:8
ENGLISH
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle speed screw
needs adjusting on the engine. Turn the idle speed screw
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the cutting
attachment movement. If the cutting attachment still moves at idle
speed, contact a service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use
until the repair is made.
WARNING:
The cutting attachment should never turn at idle. Turn
the idle speed screw counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the cutting attachment, or contact a
service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until
the repair is made. Serious personal injury may result
from the cutting attachment turning at idle.
CLEANING AIR FILTER SCREEN
See Figures 20 - 21.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter screen clean.
■ Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch with
your thumb while gently pulling on the cover.
■
Brush the air filter screen lightly to clean.
■ Replace the air filter cover by inserting the tabs on the bottom
of the cover into the slots on the air filter base; push the cover
up until it latches securely in place.
FUEL TANK
WARNING:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately.
The fuel cap contains a sealing gasket and a check valve to
ventilate built up fuel gasses. A clogged check valve will cause
poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel
cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty. Replace fuel cap
if required.
The fuel supplied to the engine is passed through a filter to remove
any contaminants from entering the engine. Contaminants in the
fuel can cause poor performance and damage to the engine.
The fuel filter is a non-serviceable item and if needed should be
replaced by a AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
