Starting the EngineIMPORTANT!Engine ignition is controlled by a twoposition switch mounted on the throttlehousing labeled, “I” for ON or START and“O” for OFF or STOP.Make sure thecutting attachmentis clear ofobstructions!IMPORTANT!If the engine fails to start after several attemptswith the choke in the closed position,the engine may be flooded with fuel.If flooding is suspected, move the chokelever to the open position and repeatedlypull the recoil starter to remove excessfuel and start the engine. If the engine stillfails to start, refer to the troubleshootingsection of this manual.Figure 22230321. Slide the ignition switch to the “I” position(engine ON).ReturnTubeFigure 254. While holding the outer tube firmly withone hand, slowly pull the recoil starterhandle until resistance is felt, then pullquickly to start the engine.CAUTION!Do not pull the recoil starter to the endof the rope travel. Pulling the recoilstarter to the end of the rope travel candamage the starter.When the Engine Starts... After the engine starts, allow the engineto warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes beforeoperating the unit. After the engine is warm, pickup the unit and clip on the harness if soequipped. See page 13. Advancing the throttle makes the cuttingattachment turn faster; releasingthe throttle permits the attachment tostop turning. If the cutting attachmentcontinues to rotate when the enginereturns to idle, carburetor idle speedshould be adjusted (page 13).Primer BulbFigure 232. Press the primer bulb until fuel can beseen flowing in the transparent returntube.IMPORTANT!The primer system only pushes fuelthrough the carburetor. Repeatedlypressing the primer bulb will not flood theengine with fuel.WARNING!The cutting attachment may rotatewhen the engine is started!5. When the engine starts, slowly move thechoke lever to the “OPEN” position. SeeFigure 26. (If the engine stops after theinitial start, close the choke and restart.)OpenStopping the EngineFigure 2723037Idle the engine briefly before stopping(about 2 minutes), then slide the ignitionswitch to the “O” (Engine OFF) position.ClosedFigure 2623036Figure 24230343. (Cold Engine Only) Set the chokelever to the CLOSED position.WARNING!Never start the engine from the operatingposition.12

Adjusting Engine IdleIdle AdjustingScrewFigure 28The engine must return to idle speedwhenever the throttle lever is released.Idle speed is adjustable, and must be setlow enough to permit the engine clutch todisengage the cutting attachment.Idle Speed AdjustmentWARNING!The cutting attachment must NEVERrotate at engine idle! If the idle speedcannot be adjusted by the proceduredescribed here, return the unit to yourShindaiwa dealer for inspection.1. Place the unit on the ground, then startthe engine, and then allow it to idle 2-3minutes until warm.2. If the attachment rotates when theengine is at idle, reduce the idle speedby turning the idle adjustment screwcounter-clockwise. See Figure 26.3. If a tachometer is available, the engine idlespeed should be final adjusted to 2,750(±250) RPM (min -1 ).4. Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments arepreset at factory on units with emissioncontrol systems and cannot be servicedin the field.Checking Unit ConditionNEVER operate the unit with the cuttingattachment shield or other protectivedevices (harness, ignition switch, bladeretention clip, etc.) removed!WARNING!A cutting attachment shield or otherprotective device is no guarantee ofprotection against ricochet. YOU MUSTALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYINGDEBRIS!Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts andaccessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer,brushcutter, or lawn edger. Do not makemodifications to this unit without the writtenapproval of Shindaiwa, Inc.ALWAYS make sure the cutting attachmentis properly installed and firmly tightenedbefore operation.NEVER use a cracked or warped cuttingattachment: If a properly installed attachmentvibrates, replace the attachment withnew one andre-check.ALWAYS stop the engine immediately andcheck for damage if you strike a foreignobject or if the unit becomes tangled. Donot operate with broken or damaged equipment.NEVER allow the engine to run at highRPM without a load. Doing so could damagethe engine.NEVER operate a unit with worn or damagedfasteners or attachment holders.NEVER cut with a dull blade. Doing so willincrease the risk of blade thrust and mayalso cause equipment damage.Shoulder StrapAdjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder padrests comfortably on the off-side shoulder andthe cutting path of the cutting attachmentis parallel to the ground.

Using A Brushcutter Blade C230/T230XWARNING! Before working with a bladeequippedunit, always inspect andclean the area of objects that couldinterfere with or damage the blade. Never use a blade near sidewalks,fence posts, buildings or otherobjects that could cause injury ordamage. Never use a blade for purposesother than those for which it wasdesigned. Whenever you strike a hard objectwith a blade, always stop thebrushcutter and carefully inspectthe blade for damage. NEVEROPERATE THE BRUSHCUTTERWITH A DAMAGED BLADE! A blade-equipped unit must beequipped with a bicycle-type handlebaras well as a harness or strap. Always make sure the cutting attachmentshield is properly installedbefore operating the unit.Blade Thrust‘Blade thrust’ is a sudden sideways orbackward motion of the brushcutter. Suchmotion may occur when the blade jams orcatches on an object such as a sapling treeor tree stump. BE CONSTANTLY ALERTFOR BLADE THRUST AND GUARDAGAINST ITS EFFECTS!WARNING!When cutting wood with a blade, feedthe blade slowly. Never strike or “slam”a spinning blade against the wood.Brushcutter HandlebarA brushcutter’s handlebar helps preventthe operator from moving forward, orthe unit moving rearward, thus preventinginadvertent bodily contact with theblade. ALWAYS KEEP THE HANDLEBARSECURELY IN PLACE ON THE UNIT!Brushcutter HarnessA harness provides additional protectionagainst blade thrust. In addition, a harnessgives significant support and comfort tohelp ensure safe and efficient operation.When operating a brushcutter, make sureboth the handle and harness are adjustedto the size of the operator using the unit.Engine Operating SpeedsOperate the engine at full throttle whilecutting. Best fuel efficiency is obtained byreleasing the throttle when swinging backafter a cut. To prevent possible engine damage, donot allow the brushcutter to run at highspeeds without a load. Avoid operating the attachment at lowspeeds. Doing so can lead to rapidclutch wear. In addition, slow-speed operationtends to cause grass and debristo wrap around the cutting head.WARNING!DO NOT use 2-tooth or NON-Shindaiwa approved 4-tooth cuttingblades with Shindaiwa brushcutters.The blade rotates counter-clockwise. Forbest performance and to minimize beingstruck by debris, move the blade from rightto left while advancing on your work.(T230X, C230) Position the blade so cutsare made between the blade’s 8 o’clockand 10 o’clock positions (as viewed fromabove). DO NOT cut between the 10o’clock and 5 o’clock positions (shadedarea). See Figure 33.Vertical CutsCut on the left sideof the blade.
