If engine performance is scceptable at
the preset positionsand there is no
chain movement at idle, no furtherad-
justment is necessary.
ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
Idle Speed "1"
High Speed Mixture =H"
DO NOT operate engine at full throttle
for prolonged pedods while making ad-
justments. Damage to the engine can
occur.Make a test cut. Based on per-
formance of the sew while cutting,ad-
Allow engine t_ldle..Adjust speed until just the high speed mixturesetting in
engine rune without Chainmovement or" 1116-tumincrements as follows:
stalling.
• Turn clockwise to increase engine
speed if engine stalls or dies.
• Turn counterclockwiseto decrease
NOfurther adjustments a re nscassmy if
chain does not move at idle speed and
if performance b satisfactory.
Low Speed Mixture "L"
Allow engine to idle. Then accelerate
the engine and note performance. If en-
gine hesitates, bogs down, or smokes
dudng acceleration, rum mixturescrew
clockwise in 1/16-tum incrementsuntil
performance is setisfactory. Repeat this
procedure as necessary for proper ad-
justment. After completingadjustments,
check for acceleration and chain move-
ment at idle. Reset if necessary.
• Clockwise untilthe sew has good
power in the cut with no hesitation.
Do not adjust by sound or speed, but
judge by how well the saw performs in
the cut;
• Counterclockwiseif the saw has
speed, but dies in the cut or lacks
power in the cut.
After completingadjustments, check for
acceleration end chain movement at
idle. Reset if necessary.
Acceleration Check
If the engine dies or hesitates instead of
accelerating, tum the low speed mixture
adjustment counterclockwise, until you
have smooth acceleration with no chain
movement at idle. Recheck and adjust
as necessary for acceptable perfor-
mance.

Prepare your unitfor storage at the end
of the season or if it will not be used for
30 days or more.
WARNING:
• Allow the engine to cool, and secure
