High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 

feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and emission compliance above 1,100 feet ASL 

the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized Shindaiwa service dealer.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine is adjusted for operation 

above

 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine

 

below

 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage may result.

NOTE

Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with emission regulations. Carburetor adjustments, 

other than idle speed, must be performed by an authorized Shindaiwa dealer.

Carburetor Adjustment

Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor adjustments can be 

made. During the break-in period, your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize. Idle speed 

can be adjusted as required.

Whenever the unit will not be used for 

30 days or longer, use the following 

procedures to prepare it for storage:

Clean external parts thoroughly.

 

Drain all the fuel from the carbure-

 

tor and the fuel tank.
To do so:

Prime the primer bulb until no 

1. 

more fuel is passing through.
Start and run the engine until it 

2. 

stops running.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the 

3. 

engine will no longer start.

Long Term Storage

Remove the spark plug and pour 

 

about 7 ml (4 oz.) of engine oil into 

the cylinder through the spark plug 

hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 

or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the 

interior of the engine. Reinstall the 

spark plug.
Before storing the unit, repair or 

 

replace any worn or damaged parts.
Remove the air cleaner element 

 

from the carburetor and clean it 

thoroughly with soap and water, let 

dry and reassemble the element.
Store the unit in a clean, dust-free 

 

area.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized 

with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor 

for extended periods can cause 

hard starting, and could also lead to 

increased service and maintenance 

costs.

NOTE

Damage caused by stale or con-

taminated fuel is not covered by the 

Shindaiwa warranty policy.

Idle adjustment 

screw

The engine must return to idle speed whenever the throttle lever is released. Idle 

speed is adjustable, and must be set low enough to permit the engine clutch to 

disengage the cutting attachment.

Idle Speed Adjustment

Place the trimmer on the ground, then start the engine, and then allow it to idle 

1. 

2-3 minutes until warm.
If the attachment moves when the engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed by 

2. 

turning the idle adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 

3. 

the values in the Specification section.

WARNING!

The cutters must NEVER engage at engine idle speeds! If the idle 

speed cannot be adjusted by the procedure, described here, contact your 

authorized Shindaiwa servicing dealer.

NOTE

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory and cannot be serviced 

in the field.
