adjusted properly, the unit should balance with the

cutting attachment parallel to the ground.

Always operate with both hands

rmly gripping the unit.

When operating with a blade, make sure

the handle is positioned to provide you with

maximum protection from contacting the blade. Always make sure the handlebar

is installed in accordance with the

manufacturers instructions.

Always make sure the appropriate cutting attachment shield is correctly installed and

in good condition. Do not

operate the unit if the

cutting attachment shield

is missing, loose, or

broken.

WARNING!

A standard grass trimmer with a loop handle should NEVER be operated with blade-type attachments. For

blade use the trimmer must be tted with a bicycle-type handlebar or a barrier bar that is located in front of the operator

to reduce the risk of the operator from coming in contact with the cutting attachment (per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit must also be equipped with a harness or strap.

Mixing Fuel

WARNING!

Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa 2-stroke gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may

cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved.

2 Stroke Mixture Oil - A 2-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD standards must be used. Shindaiwa One 2-Stroke Oil is strongly recommended as it meets this standard and is specically formulated for use in all Shindaiwa 2-stroke engines. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to

use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD certied oil will void the engine warranty.

For increased engine protection, Shindaiwa recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor engine oil to protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Red Armor engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. FD performance requirements.

IMPORTANT!

Shindaiwa One 2-Stroke oil or Red Armor engine oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of

ratio specied in those manuals.

IMPORTANT!

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

Handling Fuel

DANGER!

Fuel is VERY ammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.

• Use an approved fuel container.

• DO NOT smoke near fuel.

• DO NOT allow ames or sparks near fuel.

• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

• DO NOT ll fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS ll fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

• DO NOT overll fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

Mixing Instructions

1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.

2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.

3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.

IMPORTANT!

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shutoff containers to reduce fuel spillage.

Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area. As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccu-

pied building, away from sparks and ames.

After use

• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

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.

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 ECHO 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..

WARNING!

When carburetor adjustment is completed, the cutting attachment should not move at idle, otherwise serious

personal injury may result.

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.

Adjusting Engine Idle

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.

WARNING!

The cutting attachment must NEVER rotate at engine idle! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted by the procedure described here, return the trimmer to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

Idle Speed Adjustment

1. Place the trimmer on the ground, then start the engine, and then allow it to idle 2-3 minutes until warm.

2. If the attachment rotates when the engine is at idle, reduce the idle speed by turning the idle adjustment screw counter-clockwise.

3. If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be nal adjusted to 3,000 (±250) min

4. Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory and cannot be

serviced in the eld.

Loading Speed-Feed

1. Cut one piece of line to recommended length.

.080 (2.0 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m) .095 (2.4 mm) dia. - 20’ (6 m)

2. Align arrows on top of knob with openings in eyelets.

3. Insert one end of trimmer line into an eyelet, and push line equal distance through trimmer head.

4. Hold trimmer head while turning knob clockwise to wind line onto spool until about 5” (13 cm) of each line remains exposed.

Trimmer head is now fully loaded and ready for operation.

Trimmer Line

NOTE:

Trimmer head is pre-wound with .095" (2.4mm) Crossre™

trimmer line.

IMPORTANT!

When the wear indicators located at the bottom of the Speed-Feed head are worn smooth, replacement of the cover or the entire Speed-Feed head is required.

Wear Indicators

Long Term Storage

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 and

apply a light coating of oil to all metal surfaces.

■ Drain all the fuel from the carburetor

and the fuel tank.

To do so:

1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.

2. Start and run the engine until it stops running.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard starting, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

NOTE:

Damage resulting from stale or contaminated fuel is not covered by the Shindaiwa warranty policy.

■ Remove the spark plug and pour

about 1/4 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.
