Stopping the Engine

WARNING!

The cutter attachment can continue moving after the engine is stopped!

Adjusting the Engine Idle

WARNING!

The cutter attachment must never rotate at engine idle speed. If the idle speed cannot be adjusted by the procedures described here, return the pruner to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

NOTE:

The mixture of the carburetor on this unit cannot be adjusted.

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

1.Cool the engine by allowing it to idle for two or three minutes.

2.Slide the ignition switch to the “O” or STOP position.

Check and Adjust Idle Speed

1.Start the engine and allow it to idle two or three minutes, or until it warms up.

2.If the cutter attachment rotates at engine idle, reduce idle speed by turn- ing the idle adjusting screw counter- clockwise as necessary.

3.If the engine is stalling and won’t idle, increase idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw clockwise.

IMPORTANT!

Use a tachometer, if one is available, to set engine idle. Standard idle speed is: 2,750 (±250) min-1.
