Idle Speed Adjustment

WARNING!

The cutting attachment must NEVER rotate at engine idle! If

the idle speed cannot be adjusted by the procedure described here, return the trimmer to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

1.Place the trimmer on the ground, then start the engine, and then allow it to idle 2-3 minutes until warm.

2.If the attachment rotates when the engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw counter-clockwise. See Figure 15.

3.If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 3,000 (±250) rpm (min-1).

4.Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory and cannot be serviced in the field.

Checking Unit Condition
