1. Insert the end of the outer tube into the pole saw 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. See Figure 23.
2. Rotate the gearcase assembly so that the index screw aligns with hole in outer
tube.
3. Use a 4 mm hex (Allen) 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 (Allen) wrench to loosen the handle's four clamp screws. Move
the handle along the tube to the point where the most comfort and control are
observed. Retighten the clamp screws.
