Shindaiwa 68915-94310, EB8520RT EVC Throttle Control RT, Cruise Function, Throttle Limiter

Throttle Control RT

The RT blower is equipped with a multi- func- tion throttle control. The “Cruise” function allows the operator to use a thumb controlled lever for constant speed use without using the throttle trigger. This is useful for limiting the fatigue caused from holding the throttle for extended periods of time.

Cruise Function

Using the right thumb, push the throttle lock lever down until the desired min-1setting is reached. See Figure 17.

On the opposite side, a two position “Lim- iter” control allows full engine speed when set for “Turbo” or limits the throttle to a pre-set engine speed when set to low noise (dB) setting.

To bring min-1down to idle, push lever back up into original position.

Throttle Limiter

The RT blower has a throttle limiter func- tion that allows the operator to pre-set the maximum engine speed. This is useful for reducing the noise emitted by the blower in noise sensitive areas.

Setting Throttle Limiter:

For reduced noise setting, move the throttle limiter located on the right side of the throttle control to the dB setting. See Figure 18.

Adjusting Throttle Limiter:

1.Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly. See Figure 19.

2.Move the throttle limiter lever to the “dB” setting. See Figure 19.

3.With the engine running and while depressing the throttle trigger, use a small Phillips screw driver to turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease min-1and counter-clockwise to increase until desired limited min-1is achieved.

4.Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.

NOTE:

With the throttle limiter adjusted to 3,850 min-1, the RT blower will have a sound level of 65 dB(A) measured at 15m (50 feet).
