16.Place the lift handle through the slot in the tray. Fasten the lift handle to the smaller, inner hole in the middle wheel bracket using the bolt and nut which you pre- assembled earlier (figure 2). Fasten the lift handle to the larger, outer hole in the wheel bracket using a 3/8" x 1-1/4" hex bolt, the shoulder spacer, and a 3/8" nylock nut. Tighten both nylock nuts. See figure 11.

17.Push the grip onto the lift handle. See figure 11.

18.Perform the following steps in sequence to assure secure locking of the lift handle. Refer to figure 12.

a.Turn the aerator upright, then place the lift handle into the transport locking notch at the front end of the slot in the tray.

b.Stand on the right side of the aerator and push against the tray, which will force the lift handle over to the right side of the notch.

c.Keep the tray and lift handle in this alignment and tighten the eight bolts at the corners of the tray.

d.Tighten the two bolts which fasten the middle brace to the tray.

e.After performing these steps, some effort should be required to shift the lift handle from the transport locking notch over into the slot to lower the aerator. When the aerator is raised, the lift handle should spring back over into the transport locking notch.
