CAUTION! The recoil starter can be damaged by abuse! • Never pull the starter cord to its full length! • Always engage the starter before cranking the engine! • Always rewind the starter cord slowly! • Never operate the blower if blower tubes are missing or damaged! Starting the Engine Starting Procedure Starting Procedure 1. Place the blower on the ground. 2. Prime the fuel system by repeatedly depressing the fuel primer bulb until no air bubbles are visible in the fuel discharge line. IMPORTANT! The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel. Choke DOWN: Open Fuel Primer Bulb Choke UP: Closed Figure 11 Cold Engine Only. 3. Choke the engine by moving the choke lever up (choke is closed). See Figure 11. When The Engine Starts ¦ Open the choke (if it is not already open) by moving the choke lever down. If The Engine Does Not Start Repeat the appropriate starting procedures for warm or cold engine. If the engine still will not start, follow the “Starting a Flooded Engine” procedure. Starting A Flooded Engine EB854RT EB854 Figure 12 Full Throttle Idle Full Throttle Throttle Lever ON Throttle Lock Lever IgnitionSwitch 4. Move the throttle lever to half throttle. RT Model: Slide the ignition switch to the “I” (ON) position, then depress the throttle lever halfway and lock throttle by moving the throttle lock lever halfway down. See Figure 12. 5. Hold the blower firmly with you left hand on the fan case. 6. Using your right hand, pull the starter handle slowly until you feel the starter engage. See Figure 13. ¦ If the engine does not continue to run, repeat the appropriate starting procedures for a cold or warm engine. 1. Slide the ignition switch to the “I” (ON) position. 2. Open the choke, put the throttle lever in the full throttle position, then clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by cranking the engine several times. 3. If the engine still fails to start or fire, refer to the troubleshooting flow chart at the end of this manual. Stopping The Engine 1. Cool the engine by allowing it to run at idle for 2–3 minutes. 2. Push and hold the Stop button down until the engine stops. RT Model: Slide the ignition switch towards the rear to “O” (OFF). See Figure 14. Figure 13 Pull upwardrapidly 7.As the starter engages, pull the starter handle upward rapidly. 8.If necessary, repeat Steps 6 and 7 until the engine starts. WARNING! Never operate the blower unless all controls are properly installed and in good working order. Never operate the blower if the cylinder cover is missing or damaged! ¦ After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before operating the unit. Figure 14 Stop Button Ignition Switch OFF EB854 EB854RT OFF Throttle Control EB854RT The EB854RT 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 16. To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original position. Throttle Limiter The EB854RT 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 17. TurbodBTurbo Setting dB Setting Throttle Limiter LeverFigure 17 Throttle Limiter Adjustment Adjusting The Harness The Shindaiwa blower features an advanced harness system that helps ensure maximum operator comfort and ease of operation. ¦ The shoulder harness is filled with soft padding for reduced operator fatigue. ¦ The simplified adjustment system makes it easy to match the harness to every body size and type. Adjusting Throttle Limiter: 1. Remove the plug located at the top of the throttle assembly. See Figure 18. 2. Move the throttle limiter lever to the “dB” setting. See Figure 17. 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.
