the shaft. Hold the lever
Insert the flex. shaft as far as possible into the engine

Attention: The throttle cable should never
be under tension as this will prevent the
engine from idling. Always check and
ensure there is no tension on the carburetor throttle
connection while the throttle lever is in idling posi-
tion. The carburetor throttle connection should only
move when the throttle lever is moved.
Improper connection and adjustment can cause the
cutting tool to turn and result in accidents.
Debris Shield Installation
When metal blades are used with the model 141, the debris
guard (18) is fastened to the shaft with two clamps. Both
protruding screw ends from the gear box should fit into the
holes provided in the debris guard (prevents guard from
twisting).
When a nylon head (string head) is used, a spacer block (A)
has to be fitted with two M5x55 screws between the lower
clamp and the guard. The spacer block is supplied with the
machine. The two protruding screw ends from the gear box
will fit into the holes provided in the spacer block (A). The
nylon string cutting blade (B) is fitted to the guard as shown.
