Engine Idle Adjustment

The engine must return to idle speed whenever the throttle lever is re- leased. Idle speed is adjustable, and must be set low enough to permit the engine clutch to disengage the cut- ting attachment when the throttle is released.

WARNING!

The cutting attachment must NEVER rotate at engine idle!

If the idle speed can not be adjusted by the procedure described here, have the unit inspected at an authorized Shindaiwa dealer.

Idle Adjust

Screw

(1)Place the unit on the ground, then start the engine and allow it to idle for 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 counterclockwise.

(3)If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be adjusted to 2,750 min-1(rpm)

NOTE:

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at the factory on units with emission control systems and cannot be serviced in the field.

Shoulder Strap/Harness

IMPORTANT!

Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting attachements is parallel to the ground. Make sure all hooks and adjustment devices are secure.

WARNING!

Always wear a harness when operating this unit with a blade.

NOTE:

Using a harness with a bruscutter allows you to maintain proper control of the unit and reduces fatigue during extended operation.
