NOTE: The carburettor adjustment needle(s) are equipped
with plastic cap(s) which prevent anticlockwise rotation
from the original factory adjustment. If your unit exhibits
specific performance problem(s) where the Trouble Shoot-
ing Section recommends a anticlockwise needle adjust-
ment and no adjustments have been made since original
purchase, the unit should be taken to a factory-authorised
service dealer for repair. In most cases, the needed
adjustment is a simple task for the factory-trained service
representative.
