Warm Engine - Husqvarna 324R X-SERIES Operator's Manual

Warm engine

Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.
Choke: Put the choke in working position.
Primer bulb: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
For throttle handles with a start throttle
lock:
Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the throttle
lock and the throttle trigger, then pressing the start throttle
button (A). Then release the throttle lock and the throttle
trigger, followed by the start throttle button. The throttle
function is now activated. To return the engine to idle, press
the throttle lock and throttle trigger again.
PART THROTTLE FUNCTION
It is possible to set the engine for part throttle operation using
the dial on the side of the throttle handle. Turn the dial up to
decrease the part throttle rpm. Turn the dial down to increase
the part throttle rpm. When you have set the part throttle rpm
you will feel increased resistance when you press the throttle
trigger. This increased resistance makes it easier to maintain
a constant part throttle setting. To obtain full throttle, press the
throttle trigger a little harder so that it goes past the part
throttle setting. As soon as you release the throttle trigger the
engine will return to idle. The part throttle function does not
lock the engine at a given rpm, it is simply a brake that makes
it easier to maintain the engine at a given rpm.
