Adjusting Engine Idle

OFF

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 proce-
dure described here, return the trimmer 
to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

1.  Place the trimmer on the ground, then 

start the engine, and then allow it to idle 

- 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 15.

.  If a tachometer is available, the engine idle 

speed should be final adjusted to ,000 

(±00) rpm (min

).

preset at factory and cannot be serviced 

in the field.

NEVER operate the unit with the cutting 

attachment shield or other protective
