Stopping the Engine

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 

oscillate at engine idle! If the idle speed 

cannot be adjusted by the procedure 

described here, return the unit to your 

Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

1.  Place the unit on the ground and start 

the engine, then allow it to idle 2-3 min-

utes until warm.

2.  If the cutting attachment oscillates 

when the engine is at idle, reduce 

the idle speed by turning the idle 

adjustment screw counter-clockwise.           

See Figure 24.

3.  If a tachometer is available, the engine idle 

speed should be final adjusted to 3,000 

(±300) rpm (min

-1

).

NOTE:

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are 

preset at factory and cannot be serviced in 

the field.
