Fine Tuning; Adjusting Idle Speed - Stihl HT 70 Manual De Instrucciones

english
Standard Setting
: Shut off the engine.
:
Check chain tension.
:
Check the air filter and clean or
replace as necessary.
:
Check spark arresting screen* and
clean or replace as necessary.
:
Check adjustment of the throttle
cable and readjust if necessary –
see "Adjusting the Throttle Cable".
:
Turn high speed screw (H)
counterclockwise (max. 3/4 turn)
as far as stop.
: Carefully screw the low speed
screw (L) down onto its seat. Then
open it one turn counterclockwise.
:
Start and warm up the engine.
:
Adjust idle speed with the idle speed
screw (LA) so that the chain does
not rotate.

Fine Tuning

A slight correction of the setting of the
high speed screw (H) may be necessary
if engine power is not satisfactory when
operating at high altitude or at sea level.
* see "Guide to Using this Manual"
30
Rule of thumb
:
Turn high speed screw (H) about
1/4 turn for every 1000m (3300 ft)
change in altitude.
Conditions for adjustment
:
Carry out standard setting.
:
Warm up engine for about 5
minutes.
:
Open the throttle wide.
At high altitude
:
Turn high speed screw (H) clock-
wise (leaner) no further than stop
until there is no noticeable increase
in engine speed.
At sea level
: Turn high speed screw (H) counter-
clockwise (richer) no further than
stop until there is no noticeable
increase in engine speed.
It is possible that maximum engine
speed may be reached with the
standard setting in each case.

Adjusting Idle Speed

It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA)
after every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
:
Warm up engine for about 5
minutes.
Engine stops while idling
:
Turn idle speed screw (LA) slowly
clockwise until the engine runs
smoothly – chain must not rotate.
Chain rotates when engine is idling
:
Turn idle speed screw (LA) slowly
counterclockwise until chain stops
rotating and then turn the screw
about another 1/2 to 1 turn in the
same direction.
Erratic idling behavior, engine stops
even though setting of LA screw is
correct, poor acceleration
Idle setting too lean:
:
Turn low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise (about 1/4 turn)
until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
