Mixing Fuel
CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain al cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased op erating temperatures. Under certain conditions, alcoholbased gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2cycle mixing oils.
Never use any type of gasoline containing more than 10% alcohol by volume! Generic oils and some outboard oils may not be intended for use in highperformance 2cycle type engines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa engine.
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and 2cycle mixing oil only.
Use of nonapproved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 87 or higher.
Mix with 50:1 Shindaiwa Premium
2-cycle mixing oil or with an equivalent high quality 2-cycle mixing oil.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.
5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil.
IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than
30 days and oil with fuel stabilizer is not used, it should first be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as STABIL™.
Filling the Fuel Tank
WARNING!
Minimize the Risk of Fire!
STOP engine before refueling.
ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before refueling!
Wipe all spilled fuel and move the engine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling point and source before restarting!
NEVER start or operate this unit if there is a fuel leak.
NEVER start or operate this unit if the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank and/or fuel tank cap are damaged.
NEVER smoke or light any fires near the engine or fuel source!
NEVER place any flammable mate rial near the engine muffler!
NEVER operate the engine without the muffler and spark arrester in good working condition.
1. Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. Clear any dirt or other debris from around the fuel filler cap.
3. Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank with clean, fresh fuel.
4. Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten firmly.
11
Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT!
Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, “I” for ON or START and
“O” for OFF or STOP.
Make sure the cutting attachment is clear of obstructions!
IMPORTANT!
If the engine fails to start after several at tempts with the choke in the closed posi tion, the engine may be flooded with fuel.
If flooding is suspected, move the choke lever to the open position and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to remove excess fuel and start the engine. If the engine still fails to start, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
Figure 22
23032
1. Slide the ignition switch to the “I” position (engine ON).
Return
Tube
Figure 25
4. While holding the outer tube firmly with one hand, slowly pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel can damage the starter.
When the Engine Starts...
After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 minutes before operating the unit.
After the engine is warm, pick up the unit and clip on the harness if so equipped. See page 13.
Advancing the throttle makes the cutting attachment turn faster; releasing the throttle permits the attachment to stop turning. If the cutting attachment continues to rotate when the engine returns to idle, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted (page 13).
Primer Bulb
Figure 23
2. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the transparent return tube.
IMPORTANT!
The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.
WARNING!
The cutting attachment may rotate when the engine is started!
5. When the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the “OPEN” position. See
Figure 26. (If the engine stops after the initial start, close the choke and restart.)

Adjusting Engine Idle
Idle Adjusting
Screw
Figure 28
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
WARNING!
The cutting attachment must NEVER rotate at engine idle! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted by the procedure described here, return the unit to your
Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.
1. Place the unit 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. See Figure 26.
3. If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 2,750
(±250) RPM (min -1 ).
4. Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory on units with emission control systems and cannot be serviced in the field.
Checking Unit Condition
NEVER operate the unit with the cutting attachment shield or other protective devices (harness, ignition switch, blade retention clip, etc.) removed!
WARNING!
A cutting attachment shield or other protective device is no guarantee of protection against ricochet. YOU MUST
ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST FLYING
DEBRIS!
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts and accessories with your Shindaiwa trimmer, brushcutter, or lawn edger. Do not make modifications to this unit without the written approval of Shindaiwa, Inc.
AlwAys make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and firmly tightened before operation.
NEVER use a cracked or warped cutting attachment: If a properly installed attachment vibrates, replace the attachment with new one and re-check.
AlwAys stop the engine immediately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if the unit becomes tangled. Do not operate with broken or damaged equipment.
NEVER allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could damage the engine.
NEVER operate a unit with worn or damaged fasteners or attachment holders.
NEVER cut with a dull blade. Doing so will increase the risk of blade thrust and may also cause equipment damage.
Shoulder Strap
Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground. Make sure all hooks and adjustment devices are secure.

Your Shindaiwa T230 Grass Trimmer may be equipped with one of several Shindaiwa trimmer head models, each with features for specific applications and/or operational requirements.
NOTE:
A grass trimmer head can also be fitted to the
Shindaiwa C230 Brushcutter.
Fixed. The operator must stop the unit and add new lengths of trimmer line manually.
Flail. This device, designed for clearing weeds and light brush, features three nylon blades attached to the head by pivots.
CAUTION!
Do not push the rotating line into trees, wire fences or any material that could tangle or break line ends.
For proper operation, always refer to the instructions accompanying the trimmer head being used. Available trimmer head styles include:
semi-automatic. Trimmer line is indexed when the operator taps the trimmer head on the ground during operation.
Manual. The operator indexes line manually with the grass trimmer stopped.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate at full throttle while cutting grass.
CAUTION!
Operation at low RPM can lead to pre mature clutch failure.
Trimming and Mowing Grass
Hold the grass trimmer so the trimmer head is angled slightly into the area to be cut. To ensure maximum trimmer-line service life, cut only with the tip of the trimmer line. Cut grass by swinging the unit's trimmer
23041 head from left to right. Keep the trimmer head horizontal.

Using A Brushcutter Blade C230/T230X
WARNING!
Before working with a blade equipped unit, always inspect and clean the area of objects that could interfere with or damage the blade.
Never use a blade near sidewalks, fence posts, buildings or other objects that could cause injury or damage.
Never use a blade for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
Whenever you strike a hard ob ject with a blade, always stop the brushcutter and carefully inspect the blade for damage. NEVER
OPERATE THE BRUSHCUTTER
WITH A DAMAGED BLADE!
A bladeequipped unit must be equipped with a bicycletype handle bar as well as a harness or strap.
Always make sure the cutting at tachment shield is properly installed before operating the unit.
Blade Thrust
‘Blade thrust’ is a sudden sideways or backward motion of the brushcutter. Such motion may occur when the blade jams or catches on an object such as a sapling tree or tree stump. BE CONSTANTLY ALERT
FOR BLADE THRUST AND GUARD
AGAINST ITS EFFECTS!
WARNING!
When cutting wood with a blade, feed the blade slowly. Never strike or “slam” a spinning blade against the wood.
Brushcutter Handlebar
A brushcutter’s handlebar helps prevent the operator from moving forward, or the unit moving rearward, thus preventing inadvertent bodily contact with the blade. ALWAYS KEEP THE HANDLEBAR
SECURELY IN PLACE ON THE UNIT!
Brushcutter Harness
A harness provides additional protection against blade thrust. In addition, a harness gives significant support and comfort to help ensure safe and efficient operation.
When operating a brushcutter, make sure both the handle and harness are adjusted to the size of the operator using the unit.
Engine Operating Speeds
Operate the engine at full throttle while cutting. Best fuel efficiency is obtained by releasing the throttle when swinging back after a cut.
To prevent possible engine damage, do not allow the brushcutter to run at high speeds without a load.
Avoid operating the attachment at low speeds. Doing so can lead to rapid clutch wear. In addition, slow-speed operation tends to cause grass and debris to wrap around the cutting head.
WARNING!
DO NOT use 2tooth or NON
Shindaiwa approved 4tooth cutting blades with Shindaiwa brushcutters.
The blade rotates counter-clockwise. For best performance and to minimize being struck by debris, move the blade from right to left while advancing on your work.
(T230X, C230) Position the blade so cuts are made between the blade’s 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions (as viewed from above). DO NOT cut between the 10 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions (shaded area). See Figure 33.

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.
Drain all the fuel from the carburetor and the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STABIL™.
To remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburetor and with the fuel drained from the fuel tank.
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 start ing, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.
Remove the spark plug and pour about 1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing 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 machine in a clean, dust-free area.
Blade Sharpening
When the cutting edges of the blade become dull, they can be resharpened with a few strokes of a file.
In order to keep the blade in balance, all cutting edges must be sharpened equally.
Shindaiwa Tornado™ Blade
To sharpen the cutters on a Shindaiwa
Tornado Blade, use a 7/32-inch round file. File the leading edge of each tooth to a razor edge. The top plate of each tooth should angle back 30°.
Multiple-tooth Circular Blade
Use a round file to maintain a radius of 0.04 to 0.06” (1 to 1.5 mm) at the base of each tooth. Cutting edges must be offset equally on each side.
