Installing the Caution Labels

WARNING!

The provided labels offer important safety information about pole pruners. Do not operate, or allow others to operate, this machine unless the labels are prop- erly installed.

1.Clean outer tube so the labels will adhere properly.

2. Peel the backing off the multiple warning label and attach below similar label on lower part of outer tube. Make sure label faces up and that it is legible from the operator's position.

3.Peel the backing off "The Electrical Shock Danger" label and attach it just ahead of the throttle grip. Make sure the label faces up and that it is legible from the opera- tor's position.

Installing the Cutting Head Assembly

1.  Insert the end of the outer tube into the pole pruner gearcase clamp assembly and push until it bottoms. The outer tube should go into the gearcase about 1-1/2 in. (38 mm). If the outer tube stops before bottoming, rotate it until you feel the inner mainshaft (driveshaft) splines engage the gearcase. Then push the outer tube all the way in.

2.  Rotate the gearcase assembly so that the index screw (A) aligns with hole in outer tube (B).

3.  Use a 4 mm hex wrench to tighten the gearcase index screw first, then the gearcase clamp screw.

Adjust Loop Handle

1.  Shindaiwa recommends leaving the T230 or PB230 loop handle on the outer tube. However, for maximum comfort and control, it may require adjustment. Use the

4 mm hex wrench to loosen the handle's four clamp screws (C). Move the handle along the tube to the point where the most comfort and control are observed. Retighten the clamp screws.
