Throttle Cable Adjustment
1. Test throttle control for smooth
operation. If stiffness or binding are
noted, the cause must be identified and
corrected before the brushcutter can be
placed in service.
2. Check the throttle control lever "free
play" clearance. "Free play" should
be approximately 4-6 mm in the idle

a. Slide the adjuster cover forward to
expose the cable adjuster.
b. Loosen the cable lock nut.
c. Thread or unthread the cable adjuster
until the throttle control lever has
approximately 4-6 mm of "free play"
clearance.
d. Tighten the cable lock nut.
e. Slide the adjuster cover over the cable
adjuster.
