MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 87
Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are poisonous and inhaling them may
result in unconsciousness and/or death.
– When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventila-
tion, and do not start or run the engine in an enclosed space without an
effective exhaust extraction system.
– Adjust the idle speed with adjusting screw .
Guideline
Choke function deactivated – The choke lever is pushed in all the way.
(EXC AUS, XC‑W/XC) ( p. 22)
Choke function deactivated – The choke lever is pushed back to the stop.
(EXC EU, EXC SIX DAYS) ( p. 23)
Idle speed 1,400… 1,500 rpm
– Turn idle air adjusting screw slowly in a clockwise direction until the idle speed
begins to fall.
– Note the position and turn the idle air adjusting screw slowly counterclockwise until
the idle speed falls again.
– Adjust to the point between these two positions with the highest idle speed.
Info
If there is a large engine speed rise, reduce the idle speed to a normal level
and repeat the above steps.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle air adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you need to install a smaller idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, repeat the adjusting steps from the beginning.
Following extreme air temperature or altitude changes, adjust the idle speed
again.

Danger
Fire hazard Fuel is highly flammable.
– Never refuel the vehicle near open flames or burning cigarettes, and always switch off the engine first. Be careful that no
fuel is spilt, especially on hot vehicle components. Clean up spilt fuel immediately.
– Fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if the tank is overfilled. See the notes on refueling.
Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
– Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse immedi-
ately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, con-
tact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel. Store fuel in a suitable canister according
to regulations and keep it out of the reach of children.
Warning
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
– Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.
Info
Carry out this work with a cold engine.
Water in the float chamber results in malfunctioning.
– Turn handle of the fuel tap to the OFF position.
