Shindaiwa 68907-94311, EB3410/EVC, EB2510/EVC manual Throttle Control, Using The Blower

Throttle Control

The EB2510/EB3410 is equipped with a multi-function 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.

On the opposite side, a two position . “Limiter” 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.

Cruise Function

Using the right thumb, push the throttle lock lever down until the desired min-1(rpm) setting is reached. See Figure 10.

To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original position.

Throttle Limiter

The EB2510/EB3410 has a throttle limiter function that allows the operator to pre-set the maximum engine speed. This is use- ful 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 11.

Adjusting Throttle Limiter:

1.Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly. See Figure 12.

2.Move the throttle limiter lever to the “dB” setting. See Figure 12.

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-1(rpm) and counter-clockwise to in- crease until desired limited min-1(rpm) is achieved.

4.Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.

Note:

With the throttle limiter adjusted to 7,000 min-1(rpm), the EB2510 will have a sound level of 65 dB(A) measured at 15 m (50 feet).

Note:

With the throttle limiter adjusted to 6,500 min-1(rpm), the EB3410 will have a sound level of 65 dB(A) measured at 15 m (50 feet).

Using The Blower

Operating Tips

In the hands of an experienced operator, the EB2510/EB3410 can efficiently move a wide variety of debris ranging from grass clippings to gravel. As a general rule, operate your blower at the lowest throttle setting required to get the job done:

nUse low throttle settings when clearing lightweight materials from around. lawns or shrubbery.

nUse medium to higher throttle settings to move grass or leaves from parking lots or walkways.

nUse full throttle when moving heavy loads such as dirt or snow.

IMPORTANT!

Blower noise increases at higher throttle settings! Always use the lowest throttle setting required to get the job done!
