Throttle Control; Adjusting The Harness; Using The Blower - Shindaiwa EB8510 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Throttle Control

The EB8510 is equipped with a multi-func-
tion throttle control. The "Cruise" function
allows the operator to use a thumb con-
trolled lever for constant speed use without
using the throttle trigger. This is useful for
limiting the fatigue caused from holding the
throttle for extended periods of time.
On the opposite side, a two position "Limiter"
control allows full engine speed when set for
"Turbo" or limits the throttle to a pre-set engine
speed when set to low noise (dB) setting.
Cruise Function
Using the right thumb, push the throttle
lock lever down until the desired RPM
setting is reached. See Figure 14.

To bring RPM down to idle, push lever
back up into original position.

Adjusting The Harness

The Shindaiwa EB8510 Blower features an
advanced harness system that helps ensure
maximum operator comfort and ease of
operation. See Figure 17.
n The shoulder harness is filled with soft
padding for reduced operator fatigue.
n The simplified adjustment system
makes it easy to match the harness to
every body size and type.

Using The Blower

Operating Tips
In the hands of an experienced operator,
the EB8510 can efficiently move a wide
variety of debris ranging from grass clip-
pings to gravel. As a general rule, operate
your blower at the lowest throttle setting
required to get the job done:
Throttle Limiter
The EB8510 has a throttle limiter func-
tion that allows the operator to pre-set the
maximum engine speed. This is useful for
reducing the noise emitted by the blower in
noise sensitive areas.
Setting Throttle Limiter:
For reduced noise setting, move the
throttle limiter located on the right side of
the throttle control to the dB setting.
See Figure 15.

Adjusting Throttle Limiter:
1. Remove the plug located at the top of
the throttle assembly. See Figure 16.

n Use low throttle settings when clearing
lightweight materials from around lawns
or shrubbery.
n Use medium to higher throttle settings
to move grass or leaves from parking
lots or walkways.
n Use full throttle when moving heavy
loads such as dirt or snow.
2. Move the throttle limiter lever to the
"dB" setting. See Figure 16.
3. With the engine running and while
depressing the throttle trigger, use a
small Phillips screw driver to turn the
adjustment screw clockwise to decrease
RPM and counter-clockwise to increase
until desired limited RPM is achieved.
4. Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.

With the throttle limiter adjusted to 3,850
RPM, the EB8510 will have a sound level of 65
dB(A) measured at 15 meters (50 feet).
