T-SCREW

Fig. 19

WARNING

● The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments.
● Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover and tube assembled! Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.

In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is basically adjusted. A further adjustment may be required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has one adjustment possibility:

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T-Screw)

Check that the air fi Iter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close (clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment, contact your Hitachi dealer.

NOTE

Standard Idle speed is 2,800 - 3,200 min ^-1 .

WARNING

When the engine is idling the cutting attachment must under no circumstances rotate.

Air fi Iter (Fig. 20)

The air fi Iter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

○ Carburetor malfunctions
○ Starting problems
○ Engine power reduction
○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts
○ Abnormal fuel consumption

Clean the air fi Iter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.

19

Fig. 20

Cleaning the air fi Iter

Remove the air filter cover and the filter (19). Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the fi liter is dry before reassembly. An air fi liter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged fi liter must always be replaced.

Fuel fi Iter (Fig. 21)

Drain all fuel from fuel tank and pull fuel filter line from tank. Pull fi Iter element out of holder assembly and rinse element in warm water with detergent.

Rinse thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated. Squeeze, do not wring, away excess water and allow element to air dry.

NOTE

If element is hard due to excessive dirt buildup, replace it.

HITACHI CG 24EKS(L) - NOTE - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand holding a mechanical component with a key inserted (no text or symbols)

Fig. 21

Spark plug (Fig. 22)

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

○ An incorrect carburetor setting
○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○ A dirty air fi Iter
○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather)

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting diffi culties. If the engine is low on power, diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty,

clean it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.024" (0.6 mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

0.024" (0.6 mm)

Fig. 22

NOTE

In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement.

Angle transmission (Fig. 23)

Check angle transmission or angle gear for grease level about every 50 hours of operation by removing the grease filler plug on the side of angle transmission. If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gears, fi ll the transmission with quality lithium based multipurpose grease up to 3/4. Do not completely fill the transmission.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints,
  • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
  • Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
