ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED: (to be performed only by
customer service)
The carburetor is factory-set to the correct idle speed so that the
correct fuel-air mixture is fed to the engine.
In the cases below the carburetor (idle speed) has to be corrected:
Speed too high
-
Erratic running or lack of acceleration (idle speed too low)
-
- Adjustment to weather conditions and temperatures
An incorrect carburetor adjustment results in severe
engine damages. Do not continue working with the device
in such a condition.
7. STORAGE
STORING THE ENGINE
Storage preparations
Proper storage preparation is important to keep your engine in a
flawless functional condition. The following steps will help prevent
rust and corrosion. Rust and corrosion not only affect the function
and the appearance of your engine but also make starting it after
storage more difficult.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, it must cool down for at least half
an hour before cleaning it. Clean all exterior surfaces, repair
damaged paint coat areas and protect other areas that may
possible rust with a thin oil film.
Spraying off the engine with a garden hose or pressure
cleaner may cause water to enter the openings of air filter or
silencer. Water in the air filter will penetrate it; water entering
through the air filter or silencer may enter the cylinder and
damage the engine.
Water coming into contact with a hot engine may cause
damage to this engine. If the engine has been running, it
must cool down for at least half an hour before cleaning it.
Fuel
Gasoline/petrol oxidizes and its quality deteriorates during
extended storage. Old gasoline makes starting more difficult and
leaves deposits that clog the fuel system. If the quality of the
gasoline deteriorates during storage, maintenance measures or the
replacement of the carburettor or other fuel components may
become necessary.
