Assembly

On some units, the D-handle may be preinstalled and only require loosening the screws and adjusting the D-handle to the operator. Go to step 4 for adjusting the D-handle if preinstalled.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE

1.Remove the screws, nuts and bottom clamp piece that were installed on the D-handle for shipping.

2.Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto the bottom clamp (Fig. 3-1). Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.

3.Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with a finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screw- driver. Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

4.If it was preinstalled, loosen the screws on the D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.

5.While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 3-2), position the D-handle to the location that provides you the best grip.

6.Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle is secure.
