ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

On some units, the handle may be pre-installed. In this case you must loosen hardware and adjust the handle to fit the operator. Go to step 3 if the D-handle is pre-installed.

INSTALL AND ADJUST THE D-HANDLE

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

2.Insert the shoulder bolt into the squared hole in the handle and push through. On the left side of the handle, place the washer on the bolt, then screw the wing nut onto the bolt. Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

3.If the D-handle was pre-installed, loosen the wing nut on it just enough so the handle can freely move. 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 (Fig. 2), position the D-handle to the location that provides you the best grip.

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