MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER

Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor performance or

can cause permanent damage to the engine. Engine failure due to

improper air filter maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

Cleaning the Air Filter

1. Open the air filter cover: press in the lock tab and swing the air

filter cover to the right (Fig. 22).

2. Remove the air filter from inside the air filter cover (Fig. 22).

3. Wash the air filter in detergent and water. Rinse the air filter

thoroughly and allow it to dry.

4. Lightly coat the air filter with clean SAE 30 oil.

5. Squeeze the air filter to spread and remove excess oil.

6. Reinstall the air filter inside the air filter cover (Fig. 22).

NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will

VOID the warranty.

7. Close the air filter cover: swing the air filter cover to the left and

press it closed until the lock tab snaps into place (Fig. 22).

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always stop

the engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining

the unit.

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED

If the engine will not idle properly:

1. Drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. Refer to

Oil and Fuel.

2. Clean the air filter. Refer to Maintaining the Air Filter.

If the engine still will not idle properly, adjust the idle speed:

1. Start the engine. Refer to Starting and Stopping.

2. Release the throttle control and let the engine idle.

• If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a small

Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw clockwise,

1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine idles smoothly (Fig. 23).

• If the cutting head spins when the engine idles, reduce the idle

speed. Turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise, 1/8 of a

turn at a time, until the cutting head stops moving (Fig. 23).

If the engine still will not idle properly, and any of the following

conditions are true, take the unit to an authorized service dealer:

• the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration

• there is a loss of engine power

WARNING:

The cutting head may spin during idle speed

adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all

safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
