Checking And Adjusting The Throttle Cable; Checking And Adjusting The Choke Cable; Inspecting The Muffler - Husqvarna Rider ProFlex 18 Operator's Manual

Checking and adjusting the throttle cable

Check that the engine responds to throttle increases
and that a good engine speed is attained at full throttle.
If doubts arise, contact your service representative.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as
follows for the lower cable:
1. Loosen the clamping screw for the cable's outer
casing and move the throttle to the full throttle
position.
2. Check that the throttle cable is mounted in the
correct hole in the lower lever, see illustration.
3. Push the throttle cable's outer casing as far to the
left as possible and tighten the clamping screw.

Checking and adjusting the choke cable

If the engine produces black smoke or is difficult to
start, this can be because the choke cable is
incorrectly adjusted (upper cable).
If doubts arise, contact your service representative.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as
follows:
1. Loosen the clamping screw for the cable's outer
casing and move the choke lever to the full choke
position.
2. Check that the choke cable is mounted in the
upper lever, see illustration.
3. Pull the choke cable's outer casing as far to the
right as possible and tighten the clamping screw.
Inspecting the muffler
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and
secured correctly.
Temperature variations and vibrations can mean that
the tightening torque for the screws drops. The screws
should be checked when servicing to guarantee the
correct torque. The tightening torque should be about
10 Nm. Never use a defective muffler.
WARNING!
The muffler gets very hot in use and
remains so for a short time afterwards.
Contact can result in burns. Remember
the risk of fire.
