2. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT (4) Inspection and adjustment of governor lever and accelerator The governor lever and accelerating devices (accelerating lever, pedal, etc.) of the machine unit are connected by an accelerating wire or rod. If the wire becomes stretched or the con- nections loose, the deviation in the position may result and make operation unsafe. Check the wire periodically and adjust if necessary. Do not strongly move the accelerating wire or accelerating pedal. It may deform the governor lever or stretch the wire to cause irregular engine speed control. Checking and adjusting procedure are as fol- lows.
1) Check that the governor lever of the engine makes uniform contact with the high idling and low idling limiting bolt when the accelerating devices is in the high idling speed or low idling speed position. 2) If either the high or the low idling speed side does not make contact with the limiting bolt, adjust the accelerating wire. Loosen the accelerating wire fixing nut and adjust the wire to contact with the limiting bolt. Never release the limiting bolts. It will impair the safety and performance of the product and func- tions and result in shorter engine life.
(5) Air cleaner cleaning and element replacement Beware of dirt from air blowing Wear protective equipment such as goggles to protect your eyes when blow- ing compressed air. Dust or flying debris can hurt eyes. The engine performance is adversely affected when the air cleaner element is clogged by dust. So periodical cleaning after disassembly is needed. 1) Undo the clamps on the dust pan and remove the dust pan. 2) Loosen the wing bolt on the element and pull out the element. 82E-5 – 98E-5 SERIES 2-13
