Shindaiwa Throttle Control EB854RT, Adjusting The Harness, Cruise Function, Throttle Limiter

Throttle Control EB854RT

The EB854RT blower 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 RPM setting is reached. See Figure 16.

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

Throttle Limiter

The EB854RT blower has a throttle limiter function 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 17.

Adjusting Throttle Limiter:

1.Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly. See Figure 18.

2.Move the throttle limiter lever to the

“dB” setting. See Figure 17.

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 RPM and counter-clockwise to increase until desired limited RPM is achieved.

4.Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.

NOTE:

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