Maintenance (continued)

Adjusting Engine Idle

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.

WARNING!

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

Idle Speed Adjustment

1.Place the unit 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.

3.If a tachometer is available, adjust idle. Check Specifications page for correct idle speed

NOTE

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