Ranger 25 - 92831
Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that
the provided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh
and the fuel properly mixed.
When adjusting, take the following steps:
5. Stop engine and screw in both the H and L
needles until they stop. Never force them.
Then set them back the initial number of turn
as shown below.
H needle –1/4
L needle –1/4
6. Start the engine and allow it to warm up at
half-throttle.
7. Turn the L needle slowly clockwise to find a
position where idling speed is maximum, then
set the needle back a quarter (1/4) turn
counterclockwise.
8. Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) countercl-
ockwise so that the saw chain does not turn. If
the idling speed is too slow, turn the screw
clockwise.
9. Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for
best cutting power, not for maximum speed.
CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an automatic
brake to stop saw chain rotation upon occurrence
of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is
automatically operated by inertial force, which
acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard.
This brake can also be operated manually with
the front guard turned down to the guide bar.
To release the brake, pull up the front guard
toward the front handle till a "click" sound is
heard.
[Caution]
Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily
inspection.
How to confirm:
3) Turn off the engine.
4) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release
your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of
guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and
confirm brake operation. Operating level
varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer
for inspection and repairs.
If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with
the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat
causing trouble.
When the brake engages during operation,
immediately release the throttle lever to stop the
engine.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.
Release the throttle lever to allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes.
2.
Set the switch to the "O" (STOP) position.
