Starting the Engine (continued)

WARNING!

Never start the engine from the

operating position.

WARNING!

The cutting attachment may

rotate when the engine is started!

When the Engine Starts...

After the engine starts, allow the engine

to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before

operating the unit.

Advancing the throttle makes the

cutting attachment turn faster; releasing

the throttle permits the attachment to

stop turning. If the cutting attachment

continues to rotate when the engine

returns to idle, carburetor idle speed

should be adjusted (see “Adjusting

Engine Idle” below).

IMPORTANT!

If the engine fails to start after several attempts

with the choke in the closed position, the

engine may be ﬂooded with fuel. If ﬂooding is

suspected, move the choke lever to the open

position and repeatedly pull the recoil starter

to remove excess fuel and start the engine.

If the engine still fails to start, refer to the

troubleshooting section of this manual.

When the engine starts, slowly move the

choke lever to the “OPEN” position. See

Figure 15.

(If the engine stops after the

initial start, close the choke and restart.)

Idle the engine brieﬂy before stopping

(about 2 minutes), then slide the ignition

switch to the “O” (Engine OFF) position.

Figure 17

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 rotate at engine

idle! If the idle speed cannot be

adjusted by the procedure described

here, return the trimmer to your

Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

Place the trimmer on the ground, then

start the engine, and then allow it to idle

2-3 minutes until warm.

If the attachment rotates when the

engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed

by turning the idle adjustment screw

counter-clockwise. See Figure 17.

If a tachometer is available, the engine idle

speed should be ﬁnal adjusted to 3,000

(±250) rpm (min

-1

).

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are

preset at factory and cannot be serviced

in the ﬁeld.
