WARNING: If the cutting unit does not
stop when you adjust the idle speed,
speak to your nearest servicing dealer.
Do not use the product until it is correctly
adjusted or repaired.
Note: The idle speed is correct when the engine
operates smoothly in all positions. Refer to
data on page 13 for the recommended idle speed.
To clean the cooling system
The cooling system keeps the engine temperature
down. The cooling system includes the cooling fins on
the cylinder (A), the cylinder cover (B) and the air intake
through the crankcase (C).
(Fig. 30)
CAUTION: The air intake between the fuel
tank and crankcase is easily blocked by
leaves. Clean the air intake fully.
1. Clean the cooling system with a brush weekly or
more frequently if it is necessary.
2. Make sure that the cooling system is not dirty or
blocked.
To examine the spark plug
CAUTION: Always use the recommended
spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type
can cause damage to the product.
• Examine the spark plug if the engine is low on
power, is not easy to start or does not operate
correctly at idle speed.
• To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the
spark plug electrodes, obey these instructions:
a) Make sure that the idle speed is correctly
adjusted.
b) Make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
c) Make sure that the air filter is clean.
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and make sure that
the electrode gap is correct, refer to
on page 13 . (Fig. 31)
• Replace the spark plug if it is necessary.
