Installing and Adjusting the D-Handle

NOTE: The bolt, washer and wing nut need to be removed from the D-handle before installing.

1.Push the D-handle down onto the shaft housing so that the handle slants towards the shaft grip. The squared bolt hole in the handle is to the right. See Figure 1.

2.Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the handle. Place the washer on the bolt, and screw the wing nut onto the bolt. Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

3.Rotate the D-handle to place the grip above the top of the shaft housing. Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.

4.While holding the unit in the operating position, position the D-handle to the location that provides you the best grip. See Figure 2.

5.Tighten the wing nut until the D-handle is secure.
