Carburetor
Your Husqvama product has been designed
and manufactured to specifications that re-
duce harmful emissions. After the engine
has used 8-10 tanks of fuel, the engine will
be run-in, To ensure that it continues to run
at peak performance and to minimize harm-
ful exhaust emissions after the run-in peri-
od, ask your servicing dealer to adjust your
carburetor.
_IWARNING:
The complete clutch, J
clutch cover, and shaft must be
fitted before the machine is started,
otherwise parts could come loose
and cause personal injury.
Function
• The carburetor governs the engine's
speed via the throttle control, Air and fuel
are mixed in the carburetor.
• The T-screw regulates the throttle setting
at idle speed. If the T-screw is turned
clockwise this gives a higher idle speed;
turning it counterclockwise gives a lower
idle speed.
Basic setting
• The basic carburetor setth_gs are ad-
justed during testing at the factory, Fine
adjustment should be carried out by a
skilled technician,
i_i WARNING:
The cutting attach-
ment may be spinning during carbu-
retor adjustments. Wear your protec-
tive equipment and observe all safe-
ty instructions. Be sure the cutting
attachment stops turning when the
engine idles. When the unit is turned
off, make sure the cutting attach-
ments has stopped before the unit is
set down.
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates
when the engine is idling the idle adjustment
screw T should be turned counterclockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.

Fine adjustment of the idle speed-T

ment screw-T if it is necessary to readjust.

clockwise until the cutting attachment starts
to rotate. Then. turn the screw counterc-

The idle speed is correctly adjusted when
the engine will run smoothly in every posi-
tion. The idle speed should also be well
below the speed at which the cutting at-
tachment starts to rotate.
