Adjusting Engine Idle; Stopping The Engine; Using The Blower; Maintenance - Shindaiwa EB240S Manual Del Usuario

Adjusting Engine Idle

IMPORTANT!
Blower tubes and intake cover must be
installed while adjusting engine idle!
Engine idle speed will also be affected
if either the intake cover or blower
tubes are blocked, damaged or
incorrectly installed! A clean and
unrestricted airflow is essential to your
blower's engine performance and
durability! Before attempting any
carburetor idle adjustments, inspect
and clean the engine air cleaner as
described on page 9 of this manual.
NOTE:
Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments
are preset at the factory and cannot
be serviced in
the field.
1. Start the engine by following the
procedures described on the preced-
ing pages.
2. Run the engine at idle speed until
operating temperature is reached (2-3
minutes).
3. Use a screwdriver to adjust the
engine idle speed to 2,500
( 250) rpm (min -1 ).
■ Turn the idle screw clockwise to
increase engine idle speed.
■ Turn the idle screw counter-
clockwise to decrease engine
idle speed.

Stopping the Engine

1. Cool the engine by allowing it to run
at idle for 2 to 3 minutes.

position.
IMPORTANT!
If the engine continues to run with the
ignition switch in the "O" (OFF) posi-
tion, stop the engine by pulling the
choke control out to the fully closed
position. See the troubleshooting
section on page 11 of this manual.

Using the Blower

In the hands of an experienced operator,
the EB240S can efficiently move a wide
variety of debris ranging from grass
clippings to gravel. As a general rule, try
to operate your EB240S at the lowest
throttle setting necessary to get the job
done:
■ Use low throttle settings when
clearing lightweight materials from
around lawns or shrubbery.
■ Use medium to higher throttle
settings to move lightweight
grass or leaves from parking
lots or walkways.
■ Use full throttle when moving heavy
loads such as dirt or snow.
IMPORTANT!
Blower noise increases at higher
throttle settings! Always use the lowest
throttle setting required to get the job
done!
