1. Place the re-gripped T230, PB230, or AH230 on a clean, flat surface in an upright
position.
For the T230/T231 Trimmers:
2. Loosen, but don't remove the gearcase clamp screw and nut using a 4 mm hex
wrench and an 8 mm open end wrench.
3. Use the 4 mm hex wrench to loosen the gearcase index screw until it is almost
free.
4. Use the 4 mm hex wrench to loosen the four debris shield attachment screws. Loosen
them only enough to free the debris shield assembly from the outer tube. This will make it
easier to reattach the debris shield when converting back to a trimmer.
5. Pull and rotate the debris shield, gearcase, and trimmer head assembly until it slides
off the outer tube. Note: the gearcase and debris shield are connected by the clamp
screw.
NOTE:
The gearcase and debris shield are connected by the clamp screw.
6. The debris shield has two spacers located on either side of the outer tube and
the debris shield bracket. Put the shims and the debris shield/gearcase assem-
bly in a safe place, so that they can be reinstalled later if desired.

tube.
