○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,
please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Hitachi dealer.

WARNING
○ The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor
adjustments.
○ Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover.
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 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)
Check that the air fi lter 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 Hitachi dealer.
