Never start the engine from the oper-
ating position.
7. Operating the throttle will
automatically disengage the fast idle
setting.
If the engine fails to start after several at-
tempts with the choke in the closed posi-
tion, 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.

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.
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
When the Engine Starts.
n After the engine starts, allow the en-
gine to warm up at idle  or 3 minutes
before operating the unit.
n After the engine is warm, pick
up the unit and clip on the shoulder
strap. See page 1.
n Advancing the throttle makes the cut-
ting 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).
1. Place the trimmer on the ground, then
start the engine, and then allow it to idle
-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 .
3. If a tachometer is available, the engine idle
speed should be final adjusted to 3,000
(±300) RPM (min ).

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