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.

18.
Move the throttle limiter lever to the

“dB” setting. See Figure 17.

With the engine running and while 

3. 

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. 
Reinstall limiter adjustment plug.

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.
