6.5.5.1. CHECKING THE CLUTCH

After starting up and the engine is hot, the cutting
tool must not be moved if the engine is idle. If the
cutting tool turns with the engine running and without
accelerating, it will be necessary to regulate the idling
regime of the engine. To do this, turn the carburetor
nut "T" until the engine stops.
If you are unable to regulate the idling regime to stop
the cutting tool, because the engine stalls, please
contact the customer service for help.
The regulation of the screws (H) and (L) must only be
carried out by an official technical servicer.
6.5.5.2. CHAIN AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION CHECK
After starting the engine, accelerate the machine until
the chain rotates at a medium speed and check if the
machine greases the chain, for this it will be worth
observing that when placing the machine as in the
figure at medium speed oil is fired.
Be sure to refill the chain oil tank every time you
refuel.
