MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor performance or can cause permanent damage to the
engine. Engine failure due to improper air filter maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the air filter cover: Hook your fingers behind the cover tab. To unlock the air filter cover, pull it
to the left and away from the engine. This may require a firm pull. Swing the air filter cover to the
right (Fig. 19).
2. Remove the air filter from inside the air filter cover (Fig. 19).
3. Wash the air filter in detergent and water. Rinse the air filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Lightly coat the air filter with clean SAE 30 oil.
5. Squeeze the air filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6. Reinstall the air filter inside the air filter cover (Fig. 19).
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will VOID the warranty.
7. Close the air filter cover: swing the air filter cover to the left and press it closed until the lock tab
snaps into place (Fig. 19).

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED
WARNING:
protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.
If the engine will not idle properly:
1. Start the engine. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
2. Release the throttle control and let the engine idle.
•
If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle
speed screw clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine idles smoothly (Fig. 20).
•
If the cutting head spins when the engine idles, reduce the idle speed. Turn the idle speed
screw counterclockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time, until the cutting head stops moving (Fig. 20).
The cutting head may spin during idle speed adjustments. Wear
