How to Assemble Kickstand, Upper Handles and Carrying Handle
NOTE: If your Mantis® XP was supplied with a kickstand, please start at line 1. If not, please start with the assembly of the carry handle in line 3 below.
1.Locate the kickstand top bracket (#70). Note that the distance between the channels is narrower on one end of the bracket than the other. Place the kickstand top bracket onto the kickstand assembly (#69) so the end where the channels are closer together points away from the foot of the kickstand (Picture 1). Align the bolt holes and insert two 3/8” bolts through the holes in the top bracket and screw them into the bottom bracket by hand.
2.Lightly squeeze the
lower handles (#6) toward one another so they line up with the channels in the top bracket of the kickstand and slide the assembly down the lower handles until the foot of the kickstand is about 2" from the ends of the lower handles (Picture 2).
3.Again, lightly squeeze the lower handles (#6) toward one another so they line up with the 2 holes in the carry handle (#42). Then slide the
carry handle and the kickstand assembly down at the same time until the kickstand comes to a stop (Picture 3).
4.Gently pull the lower handles out to their original position.
5.Attach the upper handle throttle side assembly (#1) – the handle with the throttle cable and ground wire – onto the right lower handle with a shoulder bolt (#52), and secure with the handle knob (#53). (Picture 4) Be sure you have proper throttle movements and that the throttle cable is not wrapped or twisted around the handle bar.
Locate the red lockout button located on the throttle handle (Picture 5). Press the red lockout button and squeeze the throttle lever and let go.
THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
6.Follow the same steps to install the other upper handle onto the other lower handle.

7.Use the clip (#13) to secure the throttle cable and wire in place on the lower handle. (Picture 6)
8.Now install the Handle Brace (#8). Line it up with the holes on the upper handles.
