Starting the Engine (continued)
Starting A Flooded Engine
1. Disconnect the spark plug lead and use
the spark plug wrench to remove the
spark plug (turn counter clockwise to
remove).
2. Slide the ignition switch to the "O"
(STOP) position.
If the spark plug is fouled or
soaked with fuel, clean the plug as
necessary.

Stopping the Engine

Idle the engine briefly before stopping
(about 2 minutes), then slide the ignition
switch to the "O" (Engine OFF) position.

Adjusting Engine Idle

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 procedure described here, return
the unit to your Shindaiwa dealer for
inspection.
3. Open the choke and fully depress the
throttle lever with your left hand, then
pull the starter handle rapidly with your
right hand to clear excess fuel from the
combustion chamber.
4. Replace the spark plug and tighten it
firmly with the spark plug wrench. If a
torque wrench is available, torque the
spark plug to the values recommended
in the "Specifications" section.
Slide ignition to OFF
Idle Speed Adjustment
1. Place the unit on the ground, then start
the engine, and then allow it to idle 2-3
minutes until warm.
2. If the attachment rotates when the
engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed
by turning the idle adjustment screw
counter-clockwise.
3. If a tachometer is available, adjust idle.
Check Specifications page for correct
idle speed
