Adjusting The Harness - Shindaiwa EB802 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Throttle Control EB802RT
The RT blower is equipped with a multi- function throttle control. The "Cruise" function allows the operator to use a thumb controlled
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 15.
To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original position.
Throttle Limiter
The EB802RT blower has a throttle
limiter function 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 16.

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

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.
