the flywheel when servicing the clutch, structural

damage to the flywheel can occur and cause the

flywheel to burst.

2 Keep fuel and oil caps, screws and fasteners

securely tightened.

mixture.

throttle trigger is released. For correction, refer to

page 19 for carburetor idle adjustment instructions.

ments supplied or specifically recommended by the

manufacturer.

becomes damaged, or broken or is otherwise

removed.

vibration isolators in good condition. Periodically

inspect isolators for tears, rips, or separation of the

rubber portion from the metal mountings. Have a

qualified service dealer replace the isolators if worn or

damaged, if vibration increases, or if mounts develop

an out of round or swollen shape from exposure to

gasoline and/or oil. !t is recommended that all isolators

be replaced when a failure to one occurs.

NOTE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of

gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood

vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and

wrists of people prone to circulation disorders or

abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold

weather has been linked to blood vessel damage

in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur

such as numbness, pain, loss of strength,

change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling

in the fingers, hands, or wrists, discontinue the

use of this tool and seek medical attention. An

anti-vibration system designed to reduce engine

vibration is recommended for those using

2300 CVA, An anti vibration system does not

guarantee the avoidance of these problems.
