CARBURETOR
Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the air filter
(B, Fig. 22) and warm up the engine. This engine
is designed and manufactured in order to comply
with the applicable 97/68/EC, 2002/88/EC and
2004/26/EC Directive.
Idle screw T (Fig. 20) is adjusted in order to ensure
a good safety margin between idle running and
clutch engagement.
WARNING: Don't tamper the carburetor.
WARNING: With the engine idling (2800
rpm), the blade should not
recommend that you have your nearest
authorised dealer or service workshop carry
out any carburettor adjustments.
WARNING: Weather conditions and
altitude may affect carburation.
MUFFLER
WARNING! - This muffler is fitted with a
catalytic converter needed for the engine to be in
compliance with the emissions requirements.
Never modify or remove the catalytic converter:
failure to do so is a violation of law.
WARNING! - Mufflers fitted with catalytic
converters get very hot during use and remain
so for some time after stopping. This also
applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns
to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!
CAUTION! - If the muffler is damaged, it
must be replaced. If the muffler frequently
becomes blocked, this could be an indication that
the efficiency of the catalytic converter is limited.
