6. Tighten the throttle cable fixing nut securely.
7. Operate the throttle system several times and check it has the free play (i.e.
throttle lever does not move while operating the throttle trigger).
• Holding the flexible shaft and gear case between the clutch case and cutting
head in line with each other, check the throttle trigger for function (see page
21).
• Return the flexible shaft in the position of the step 3, and check there is the
free play.
After adjustment, check the throttle trigger for smooth operation. Consult your
authorized Honda dealer if necessary.
8. Reinstall the air cleaner cover by inserting the lower tabs, then insert the upper
tab.
CAUTION:
• After removing the air cleaner cover, reinstall the air cleaner cover
securely.
Failure to tighten the cover securely may cause the cover to come
out of position by vibration or some sort of engine malfunction.
• Operating the engine without the air cleaner or improperly installed air
cleaner will allow dirt to enter the inside of the engine, causing adverse
effect to the engine.
