II. How to Assemble Lower Handles

To identify part numbers, see page 8.

1.Use the protective cardboard sleeve to stabilize your Tiller/Cultivator. Stand the engine assembly up.

2.Lay the handle parts within easy reach. You’ll need the transmission bracket (#47) and one of the lower handles (#6). Note that the lower handles have a short leg on one end. (Picture 1)

3.Fit the transmission bracket along the outside of the short leg. Line up the holes on the clamp and the leg.

4.Using one of the two 3 1/4" bolts (#54), slide it through the hole of the transmission bracket (#47) and lower handle (#6) closest to the elbow. (Picture 2) The fit will be tight.

5.Now slide the bolt completely through the second lower handle and transmission bracket. (Picture 2) Add a nut (#53) and tighten finger tight.

6.Locate the worm-gear housing. It starts just above — and extends down through — the Tiller/Cultivator’s red fender. You’ll notice that there’s a recessed channel on either side of the housing’s top.

7.Take the lower handles that you’ve just put together. Slide them into the two recessed channels.

Make sure you insert them from the rear of the Tiller/Cultivator (gasoline tank faces away from the operator) . . . so that the bolt fits along the back of the housing.

8.Slide the second 3 1/4" bolt through the second hole in the short legs. Add a nut (#53) and tighten finger tight. (Picture 4)

NOTE: THE NUTS ARE SELF

THEM COMPLETELY.
