(3) Low idle set screw

(4) Idler subspring

(5) Bolt for stopping at full load

(6) Stop lever

Note: For any adjustments, ensure that the coolant and oil temperature are above 70 °C (158 °F).

1. Operate the starting motor in order to crank the engine.

2. At approximately 150 rpm, the engine will begin to start and the engine will pick up speed.
Immediately after the engine is running, move the control lever (2) in order to hold the engine rpm
between 800 and 1000 rpm.

3. When the engine is running at a steady rpm, move the control lever (2) to the low idle position.

Adjusting The Idler Subspring

(4) Idler subspring

6. If the engine rpm tends to fluctuate, turn idler subspring (4) clockwise. Allow the idler subspring to
come into slight contact with the tension lever. The engine rpm will rise slightly and the engine rpm
will stop fluctuating when the idler subspring is exerting some force upon the tension lever.

Note: Tightening the idler subspring adjusting screw is likely to cause the engine to overspeed when
the load is dumped during heavy-duty operation. Tighten the idler subspring slowly until the unstable
condition is eliminated.
