3.1.2 Warm starting
When warm starting (immediately after stop-
ping the engine), follow the procedure indicated
above in points 1-4-5-6.
3.2 ADJUSTING THE SPEED
OF THE CUTTING DEVICE (Fig. 7)
Cutting device speed is regulated by the throttle
trigger (2), located on the rear handgrip (4) or the
right handgrip (4) of the handlebar.
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine
to the transmission shaft by a centrifugal mass
clutch that prevents the shaft from moving when
the engine is running at minimum speed.
WARNING! The cutting device must not
move when the engine is running idle. If the
cutting device moves when the engine is
running idle, contact your dealer to correctly
regulate the engine.
The correct running speed will be achieved by
pressing the throttle trigger (2) as far as possible.
IMPORTANT Avoid using the engine at full pow-
er for the first 6-8 working hours.

– R elease the throttle trigger (2) and allow the
engine to run idle for a few seconds.
– S et the switch (1) to position «O».
WARNING! When you have reduced
speed to a minimum, it will take a few sec-
onds for the cutting device to stop.
