WARNING: Do not use a product that has a

defective muffler. Always replace a defective muffler.

WARNING: Risk of burn or fire. Mufflers with

catalytic converters get very hot during operation.

WARNING: Risk of fire. The muffler

decreases the noise level and identifies the exhaust gases from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks. CAUTION: The spark arrester screen must be replaced if it is damaged. Do not use a product if the spark arrester screen on the muffler is missing or defective. CAUTION: If the spark arrester screen is blocked, the product will be too hot. This will cause damage to the cylinder and piston.

1. Make sure that the muffler is not damaged.

2. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to

the product. To adjust the idle speed

• Make sure that the air filter is clean. The cutting attachment must not rotate in correct idle speed.

• Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T which is identified with "T" mark.

• The idle speed is correct when the engine operates smoothly in all positions. The idle speed must be below the speed when the cutting attachment starts to turn.

WARNING: If the idle speed cannot be

adjusted so that the cutting attachment stops, speak to the distributor or the service center. Do not use the product until it is correctly adjusted or repaired.

1. Turn the idle adjustment screw clockwise until the

cutting attachment starts to turn.

2. Turn the idle adjustment screw counterclockwise

until the cutting attachment stops. (Fig. 56) Cooling system The product has a cooling system to keep the work temperature low. The cooling system has:

• Fins on the flywheel (A)

• Cooling fins on the cylinder (B)

• Cylinder cover (C) (directs cold air over the cylinder)

• Plate (E) To clean the cooling system

WARNING: A dirty or blocked cooling

system causes overheating. It causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

1. Clean the parts of the cooling system with a brush a

minimum of one time a week. Air filter

• Clean the filter at intervals of 25 hours. Clean more regularly if necessary.

• Set the choke control in the choke position. (Fig. 58) To clean the air filter CAUTION: Always replace an air filter that is damaged, very dirty or soaked with fuel. If you use an air filter for a long time, it cannot be fully cleaned. Replace the air filter with a new one at regular intervals.

1. Move the choke lever up, to close the choke valve.

2. Remove the air filter cover. (Fig. 59)

3. Remove the felt filter and the air filter.

4. Hit the palm of your hand lightly with the felt filter or

use air to clean the felt filter.

5. Do a check of the surface of the rubber seal.

Replace the filter on the rubber seal if it is damaged.

6. Clean the air filter with warm soap water.

CAUTION: Make sure to keep the felt filter dry. Water causes damage to the felt filter.

7. Use Husqvarna two-stroke oil to put oil on the filter.

Make sure that you remove excessive oil before you put the air filter back. CAUTION: Do not use gasoline or oil intended for four-stroke engines.

8. Replace the air filter if it is too dirty to fully clean it.

Always replace a damaged air filter.

9. Also clean the inner surface of the filter cover. Use

10. Make sure that the filter is dry before you assemble

it. Fuel filter When the engine runs short of fuel supply, make sure that the fuel tank cap and the fuel filter (A) is not blocked. (Fig. 60) To add grease to the bevel gear Make sure that the bevel gear is filled 3/4 full with bevel gear grease. (Fig. 61) To examine the spark plug CAUTION: Always use the recommended spark plug type. Incorrect spark plug type can cause damage to the product.

• Examine the spark plug if the engine is low on power, is not easy to start or does not operate correctly at idle speed.

• To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the spark plug electrodes, obey these instructions: a) Make sure that the idle speed is correctly adjusted. b) Make sure that the fuel mixture is correct. c) Make sure that the air filter is clean.

• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and make sure that the electrode gap is correct, refer to Technical data on page 19 . (Fig. 62)

• Replace the spark plug if it is necessary. To sharpen grass cutters and grass blades
