  BR 500, BR 550 and BR 600 blowers will be
  equipped with new carburetors in the future.
  The new carburetors are tuned at the factory so the
  engine receives an optimum fuel-air mixture in all
  environments and operating conditions.
  It is no longer possible for the user to make any
  adjustments on the high speed screw (H) or low
  speed screw (L).
  The idle speed screw (LA) remains unchanged and
  can be adjusted by the user as before to correct the
  engine idle speed.

Adjusting maximum engine speed
It is not possible to specify an exact maximum
engine speed because power is constantly
absorbed by the fanwheel.
.       With the engine running at full throttle, turn the
        high speed screw counterclockwise and use a
        tachometer to set a 100 rpm drop in speed (rich
        limit) compared to maximum engine speed.
.       Turn the high speed screw 1full turn clockwise
        (leaner) from that position.

If it is not possible to check engine speed with a
tachometer while making adjustments, do not set
the high speed screw any leaner by turning it
beyond the basic setting.
If the setting is too lean, there is a risk of engine
damage.

Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
