The engine must return to idle speed whenever the throttle lever is released. Idle speed is adjustable, and must be set low enough to permit the engine clutch to disengage the cutting attachment.

Idle Speed Adjustment

WARNING!

The cutting attachment must NEVER oscillate at engine idle! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted by the procedure described here, return the unit to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

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

2.If the cutting attachment oscillates when the engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw counter-clockwise. See Figure 24.

3.If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 3,000 (±300) rpm (min-1).

NOTE:

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