Starting

Warning: Never attempt to start the engine if it is detached from the frame of the powerboard. If engine is started when detached, clutch components will come loose and can cause serious injury or death.

Before starting, move at least 10 feet away from where you filled the tank.

1.Depress primer bulb several times to draw fuel from the tank to the carburetor (TPB- 400GX only).

2.Set the CHOKE LEVER to the CHOKE (UP) position (Fig. 7).

3.Pull the RECOIL STARTER briskly, making sure to hold the handle in your grasp (Fig. 8). Note: Do not allow it to snap back, let it back slowly. It may be necessary to repeat this step several times until the motor

starts.

When starting the unit for the first time, it may be necessary to pull the starter handle multiple times until it starts because the gas needs to be drawn into the carburetor.

4.Once the engine has started, quickly move the CHOKE LEVER into the RUN (DOWN) position. (Fig. 7)

5.After engine is started, let it warm up for 2-3 minutes before riding.

IF THE MOTOR KEEPS STALLING AT IDLE SPEED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED ON THE CARBURETOR.

TPB-350GX, TPB-400GX specifications

The Tanaka TPB-400GX and TPB-350GX are renowned portable brushcutters designed for both professional landscapers and home gardening enthusiasts. These high-performance tools are engineered to tackle a variety of tough cutting tasks with ease, making them popular choices among users seeking reliability and efficiency.

One of the key features of the TPB-400GX is its robust 40.2cc two-stroke engine, delivering exceptional power and torque. This engine allows the machine to cut through dense vegetation and grass with minimal effort, making it ideal for clearing larger areas or maintaining overgrown landscapes. In contrast, the TPB-350GX is equipped with a smaller yet capable 34.4cc engine, which strikes a balance between power and lightweight design, catering to users who prefer a more manageable tool for lighter tasks.

Both models are designed with user comfort in mind. They feature anti-vibration technology, which minimizes hand fatigue during extended use, allowing operators to work longer without discomfort. The adjustable harness provided with each unit ensures that weight distribution is optimized, enhancing user stability and control.

In terms of cutting technology, both the TPB-400GX and TPB-350GX come equipped with a semi-automatic trimmer head, which simplifies line feed while maximizing efficiency. The dual-line cutting system effectively increases coverage while reducing the time spent on trimming tasks. Moreover, the straight shaft design on both models enhances reach and accessibility, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as under fences or shrubs.

Durability is a hallmark of the Tanaka brand, and these brushcutters are no exception. Constructed from high-quality materials, both models are resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longevity even in demanding conditions. The TPB-400GX and TPB-350GX also feature an easy-start mechanism, allowing for quick ignition without the frustrating pull starts commonly associated with traditional two-stroke engines.

Overall, the Tanaka TPB-400GX and TPB-350GX are excellent choices for users seeking powerful, versatile, and durable brushcutters. With their combination of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and reliable performance, these models stand out in the competitive landscape of outdoor power equipment.
