Page 83: Carburettor
CARBURETTOR Description The diagrams in this description do not WARNING! correspond with the carburettor fitted on The fuel used in the chain saw poses the chain saws. They serve only to show the following hazards: the principles of design and operation. 1.
Page 84 CARBURETTOR Operation The carburettor operates differently in the following modes: • Cold start • Idling • Part throttle • Full throttle In the cold start mode the choke valve (D) is fully closed. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor and fuel is easier to suck from all the diffuser jets (E, F and G).
Page 85 CARBURETTOR Dismantling WARNING! The fuel used in the chain saw poses the following hazards: 1. The liquid and its vapours are poisonous. 2. Can cause skin irritation. 3. Is highly inflammable. Dismantle all parts necessary and remove the carburettor from the saw. On some models the cylinder needs to be loosened and lifted to be able to remove the carburettor.
Page 86 CARBURETTOR Tillotson HS 228 B 1. Remove the cover (A) over the metering unit and carefully remove the control diaphragm (B) with the gasket. 2. Undo the screw (H) and take out the needle valve (C) with lever arm, shaft and spring. 3.

Page 106: Anti-Vibration System
ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM Description The anti-vibration system reduces the vibra- tions which pass from the engine and cutting equipment to the handles. The anti-vibration system consists either of rubber elements or coil springs. The system’s movement limitation consists of side absorbers and/or stop screws. Dismantling The tank unit must be removed from the engine sub-assembly to access the anti-vibration system.
