5.Move the handlebars up or down to align the threaded hole in the cross-brace with one of the four slots in the curved height adjustment bracket. Place the keyed washer (E, Figure 2-3) on the flange head height adjustment screw (F) with the raised keys (edges) of the washer facing down.

6.Thread the height adjustment screw (F, Figure 2-3) into the hole in the handlebar cross-brace, making sure that the raised keys on the washer fit into the slot on the height adjustment bracket. Tighten the height adjustment screw securely. Next, securely tighten the two screws and nuts in the ends of the handlebar (M, Figure 2- 3).

7.To remove the tiller from its shipping platform, first carefully unwrap the wheel gear cable (with attached lever - see Figure 2-5) from around the chassis. Move the Wheel Gear Lever (G) to the DISENGAGE position--this allows the wheels to rotate freely. Use the handlebars to roll the tiller off the platform.

NOTE: The Wheel Gear Lever will be installed later in this procedure.

IMPORTANT: Use the DISENGAGE position only when the engine is not running. Before starting the engine, the Wheel Gear Lever must be placed in the ENGAGE position (see Section 3 for details).

STEP 3: ATTACH REVERSE CLUTCH CONTROL CABLE

1.Carefully unwrap the reverse clutch control cable (H, Figure 2-6) from its ship- ping position and route it up along the in- side edge of the left side handlebar. A knob and large hex nut (I) is installed on the ca- ble.

2.Insert the cable into the slot in the con- trol panel and fit the threaded assembly into the hole in the slot (see Figure 2-6). Be sure that the flat side of the threaded as- sembly is aligned with the flat side of the hole. Slide the hex nut (I) up the cable and tighten it securely.

3.Test the function of the reverse clutch control cable by pulling the knob out and releasing it. The knob should return to its neutral position against the tapered bush- ing. If it doesn’t, contact your local dealer or the factory for technical.

STEP 4: ATTACH FORWARD CLUTCH CONTROL CABLE

1.Remove any fasteners (rubber bands, tape, etc.) that may secure the Forward Clutch Control levers (J, Figure 2-7) to the handlebar.

2.The forward clutch control cable (with attached spring) is hanging loosely near the right-side wheel. Being careful not to kink or stretch the cable, insert the z-con- nector (L, Figure 2-8 – end of the spring) into the hole at the end of the forward clutch control linkage (K, Figure 2-7).

3.Attach the cable adjuster (A, Figure 2-9)

to the bracket on the right-side handlebar. Use two 12" wrenches to loosen the two jam nuts (B) just enough to slide the cable adjuster onto the bracket. Then hand tight- en the jam nuts.
