TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
The carburetor
shown below has been pre-
set at the factory and readjustment should
not be necessary.
However,
if the carbure-
tor does need to be adjusted,
proceed as
follows:
L_ Ac jUsting
Screw
lose finger tight
only)
• Close the high speed adjusting screw by
hand.
• Do not over-tighten.
• Then open it 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns.
• Start the engine and let it warm up.
• Set the throttle control to FAST. Adjust
the high speed adjusting screw in until
the engine speed or sound alters. Adjust
the screw out until the engine speed
sound alters. Note the difference
between
the two limits and set the screw in the
middle of the range.
• If the engine tends to stall under load or
not accelerate
from low speed to high
speed properly, adjust the high speed
screw out in 1/8 turn in_:rements until the
problem is resolved.
• Let the engine run undisturbed
for 30
seconds between
each setting to allow
the engine to react to the previous
adjustments.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper the engine
governor, which is factory set for proper
engine speed. Overspeeding
the engine
above the factory high speed setting can
be dangerous. If you think the engine-
governed high speed needs adjusting,
contact your nearest Craftsman
Service
Center, which has the proper equipment
and experience to make any necessary
adjustments.

CAUTION:
Never store your Edged
Trimmer
indoors or in an enclosed,
poorly
ventilated
area. If gasoline
remains in the
tank, fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light from a furnace,
water
heater, clothes
dryer, cigarette,
etc.
EDGER/TRIMMER
• Clean the Edger/Trimmer
thoroughly;
remove all debris and wipe the unit dry.
• Inspect the Edger/Trimmer
for worn or
damaged
parts and tighten all loose
hardware.
• Oil all points described in the Lubrication
paragraph
in the Maintenance
section of
this manual.
• Store the Edger/Trimmer
in a protected
area and cover for additional
protec-
tion.
IMPORTANT:
A yearly checkup
or tune-
up by a Craftsman
Service Center is a
good way of ensuring
that your Edged
Trimmer will provide maximum
perfor-
mance for the next season.
ENGINE
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, experjence indicates that alcohol-
blended fuels called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation
of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage.
To prevent engine damage
(if Edger/
Trimmer is not used for more than 30 days)
follow the steps on next page.
