Upper Handle Mounting

NOTE: If the positive cable is also disconnected, connect the positive (red) cable to the positive terminal on the battery first, then connect the negative (black) cable to the negative terminal on the battery. Reinstall battery cover.

NOTE: If time does not permit charging the battery, or if charging equipment is not available, connect the negative battery cables and run the vehicle continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to sufficiently charge the battery.

3.3Remove and open the bolt bag.

3.4Loosen the 5/16" hardware at the two (2) discharge chute hinge points so that the deflector is snug, but can be moved up and down freely.

3.5Refer to Parts Manual to help you identify and locate parts and their proper position.

3.6Apply retaining adhesive “Fel-Pro ProLock Retaining I or Retaining II” or “Loctite RC 609 or 680” on the two threaded studs from the bolt bag and install into the two left holes underneath fuel tank. Install the fuel tank on top of the fuel tank support with the studs going through the slots in the support. Install two 5/16 x 3/4 screws with a 5/16 SAE flat washer and 5/16 lock washer into the threaded holes in the right side of the fuel tank. Do not over tighten. Place a 5/16 SAE flat washer, then a spring, over each of the studs and fasten with a 5/16 nyloc nut. Tighten 5/16 nyloc nut fully then back off a 1/2 turn. This is to allow for normal fuel tank expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and fuel levels. Do not over tighten.

3.7Attach the fuel tank hose to the tank fitting and secure with the clamp provided.

3.8Position the lower end of the handle assembly on the outside of the upper rear section of the fuel tank and handle support. Install four 3/8-16 x 1" bolts (with four spring disk washers against the head of each bolt) from the outside in. Secure using four 3/8" whizlock nuts on the inside of each handle support and tighten until the spring disk washers are flat (See Figure 1).

3.9Route the throttle cable along the right side of the upper handle, under the fuel tank support, and position the cable on the left side of the engine.

Attach throttle cable to engine:

a)Position the throttle control lever (located on console) ¼” (6mm) from the upper end of the slot.

b)Attach inner wire of the throttle cable to the top hole in the throttle control lever as shown in Figure 2.

c)Loosen the clamp, place the cable behind it, and pull on the cable to move the throttle linkage to the full throttle position. Tighten the cable clamp screw.
