Setting the throttle cable:
If the maximum speed of the machine
falls over time and you have ruled our
all the other causes listed in section 9
Troubleshooting, it may be necessary to
adjust the throttle cable.
First of all check whether the carburettor
opens fully when the throttle lever is pressed
fully. This is the case if the carburetor slide (Fig.
O1/Item 1) rests against the stop (Fig. O1/Item
2) when the throttle is fully open. Figure 16
shows the correct setting. If the
carburetor slide does not touch the stop, it
must be adjusted.
The following work is required to adjust the
throttle cable:
• Undo the lock nut (Fig. O2/Item 3)
a few turns.
• Undo the adjusting screw (Fig. O2/Item
4) until the carburettor slide rests against
the stop when the throttle is fully open, as
shown in Figure O1.
• Retighten the lock nut.
Setting the idling speed:
Important. Set the idling speed when the
machine is warm.
If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed
and you have ruled out all the other causes
listed in section 9 Troubleshooting, the idling
speed must be adjusted. To do this turn the
idling speed screw (Fig. O2/Item 5) clockwise
until the machine runs smoothly at idling speed.
If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting tool
turns as well, it has to be reduced by turning the
idling speed screw counter-clockwise (Fig. O2/
Item 5) for as long as is required for the cutting
tool to stop turning as well.
7.3 Storage
Please note: If you fail to follow these instructions
correctly, deposits may form on the interior of the
carburetor which may result in the engine being
more difficult to start or the machine suffering
permanent damage.
1. Carry out all of the maintenance work.

Helpline No. UK 0151 649 1500 / IRE 189 094 6244
2. Drain the fuel out of the tank (You can use
a plastic petrol pump for this purpose,
which can be bought via our
HELPLINE 0151 649 1500).
3. When the fuel has been drained, start the
engine.
4. Allow the engine to run at idling speed until it
stops. This will clean the remainder of the fuel
out of the carburetor.
5. Leave the machine to cool
(approx. 5 minutes).
6. Remove the spark plug.
7. Place a teaspoon full of 2-stroke engine oil
into the combustion chamber. Pull the starter
cable several times carefully to wet the
internal components with the oil. Fit the spark
plug again.
8. Clean the exterior housing of the machine.
9. Store the machine in a cold, dry place where
it is out of the reach of ignition sources and
inflammable substances.
Fertilizers and other chemical garden products
often contain substances that accelerate the
rate of corrosion of metals. Do not store the
machine on or near fertilizers or other chemicals.
Restarting
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter cable several times to clean
the oil residue out of the combustion
chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug contacts or fit a new
spark plug.
4. Fill the tank. See the section entitled Fuel
and oil.
5. Complete steps 1-7 described under the
point entitled "Starting the engine from
cold".
7.4 Transport
To transport the machine, first empty the
petrol tank as described in section 2 in the
section entitled "Storage". Clean coarse dirt
off the machine with a brush or hand
brush. Dismantle the long handle as
described 5.1.1
