Owner’s Manual ECS-3301/3351
In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is basically
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 filter 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 your service workshop.

The L and H screws should only be adjusted by an Authorized Tanaka Dealer.
