Stopping The Engine; Engine Idle Adjustment; Double Shoulder Harness - Shindaiwa B530 Owner's Manual

Stopping the Engine

Idle the engine briefly before stop-
ping, then slide the ON-OFF switch to
the "O" (for STOP) position.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment con-
tinues rotating for a while after
the switch is turned off.

Engine Idle Adjustment

The engine must return to idle speed
whenever the throttle lever is re-
leased. Idle speed is adjustable, and
must be set low enough to permit the
engine clutch to disengage the cut-
ting attachment when the throttle is
released.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment must
NEVER rotate at engine idle!
If the idle speed can not be adjusted
by the procedure described here, have
the unit inspected at an authorized
Shindaiwa dealer.

1. Place the unit on the ground, then

3. If a tachometer is available, the
engine idle speed should be adjusted
to 2,500 min
Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments
are preset at the factory on units with
emission control systems and cannot
be serviced in the field.

Double Shoulder Harness

Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder
OFF
pad rests comfortably on the off-side
shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting
attachements is parallel to the ground. Make
sure all hooks and adjustment devices are
secure.
Using a harness with a bruscutter allows you
to maintain proper control of the unit and
reduces fatigue during extended operation.
Double Shoulder Harness
Adjust the double shoulder harness straps
so the shoulder pads rest comfortably on
the offside of the shoulder and the cutting
path of the blade is parallel to the ground.
Make sure all hooks and adjusting devices
are secure.
