10.5- Stopping
Do not suddenly stop the engine when operating the
Double-Handle handles at high speeds. Fig. 26
Or when operating the D-Loop Handle at higher speeds.
Fig. 27
Gradually return the throttle trigger and idle the engine
before setting the switch to STOP.
Do not operate the engine at high speeds with no load on the cutting attachment,
Especially when the engine is new. When operated at high speeds with no load, the
speed will accelerate to an excessively high state that might harm the engine.
10.6- When the engine does not start
If the engine does not start or flames flow back through the muffler even though you have pulled the
starter many times, remove and check the spark plugs.
1. If the spark plugs are dry, no fuel has been fed into the cylinder. Check the fuel pipe and carburetor.
2. Clean or replace the spark plugs if they are wet or dirty.
3. If fuel has overflowed into the crank case, remove the spark plugs, open throttle and pull the starter 2
or 3 times to remove excess fuel from the crank case
11. MAINTENANCE
11.1- Cleaning air cleaner
A clogged up air filter will cause the fuel to be thicker, reducing performance and causing the engine
to stop.
Wash the air cleaner as required.
Replace the cleaner when it becomes dirty.
1. Detach the cleaner mounting screws and remove the cleaner cov-
er.
2. Remove the elements
3. Follow the same procedure as in step. Fig. 28
