either of the lower holes (9).

Adjusting the throttle cable
N Check adjustment of throttle cable –
see chapter on "Adjusting the
Throttle Cable".
Some machine versions are equipped
with a throttle cable adjuster on the
control handle.
A properly adjusted throttle cable is the
precondition for correct operation in the
full throttle, starting throttle and idle
positions.
Adjust the throttle cable only after the
unit is fully assembled – the control
handle must be in the normal operating
position.
N Use a suitable tool to push the slide
to the end of the slot (see
illustration).
N Press down the throttle trigger
lockout (1) and squeeze the throttle
trigger (2) (full throttle) – this sets
the throttle cable correctly.

heads only and must therefore be
mounted before fitting a mowing head.
WARNING
Deflector (2) is approved for grass
cutting blades and brush knives only and
must therefore be mounted before fitting
