Throttle free play adjustment

If the unit does not return to idle speed or doesen’t reach full rpm, the throttle lever free play may need to be adjusted as
follows:

Measure free play at the end of the

throttle lever. Throttle lever free play should be approximately 5-7 mm (0.2-0.275”).

If adjustment is necessary, remove the air cleaner cover by loosening the two thumbscrews. Loosen the cable adjuster lock nut

and turn the cable adjustment fitting in or out until throttle lever free play is approximately 5-7 mm (0.2-0.275”).
Replace the air cleaner cover, and tighten the cover retaining screws securely.

Operation

Squeezing the throttle increases engine speed, causing the clutch to engage and

■

operate the cutters.

Releasing the throttle decreases engine speed, causing the cutters to slow, and

■

then stop altogether as the clutch disengages.

Use a sweeping motion when cutting, and vary throttle settings often.

■

Avoid cutting material larger than 1.27 cm in diameter.

■

Always grip support handle with right hand and throttle handle with left hand.
