Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured
to specifications that reduce harmful emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine has
broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak performance and
producing the least amount of harmful emissions after break
in, have your authorized servicing dealer, who has a revolution
counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburetor for optimum
operating conditions.
!
WARNING!
The blades must be fitted before the
hedge trimmer is started, otherwise the
clutch can become loose and cause
personal injury.
Operation
• The carburetor governs
the engine's speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed
in the carburetor. The
air/fuel mixture is
adjustable. To take
advantage of the engine's
optimal output the
adjustment must be
correct.
• The setting of the
carburetor means that
the engine is adapted to
local conditions, for
example, the climate,
altitude, gasoline and the
type of 2-stroke oil.
• The carburetor is equipped with three adjustment possibili-
ties:
H = High speed needle
L = Low speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster screw
• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by
the throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.
Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture
(less fuel) and turning them anti-clockwise gives a richer
fuel mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs
while a richer mixture give less revs.
• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the
engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher
idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower
idling speed.

Basic setting
• The carburetor is set to its basic setting when test run at the
factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting
and should be kept during the machine's first working
hours. Thereafter the carburetor should be finely adjusted.
Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled
technician.
NOTE! If the blades move while the engine is idling the T-
screw should be turned anti-clockwise until the blades stop.
Recommended idling speed is: 2 700 rpm.
Recommended max. speed: See "technical data".
!
WARNING!
If the idling speed cannot be adjusted so
that the blades stop, contact your
service workshop. Do not use the
machine until it has been correctly
adjusted or repaired.
Fine adjustment
• When the machine has been "run-in" the carburetor should
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried
out by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the
idling screw T and then the H-jet.
Conditions
• Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean
and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburetor while
a dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when
the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious
engine damage.
• Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point between
fully turned in and fully turned out..
• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as
damage can occur.
• Now start the machine according to the starting instructions
and run it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the blades move, the T screw should be turned
counter-clockwise until the blades stop.
Low speed needle L
Try to find the highest idling
speed, turning the low speed
needle L clockwise
respectively counter-
clockwise. When the highest
speed has been found, turn
the low speed needle L 1/4
turn counter-clockwise.
NOTE! If the blades move
when the engine is idling,
turn the idling speed screw T
counter-clockwise until the
blades stop.
