HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY

DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To

avoid serious injury, the barrier portion of the handlebar must be installed as shown on the upper tube of the power-

head to provide a barrier between op- erator and the spinning blade. Attach tube clamp above arrow on safety warn- ing decal on the upper tube (powerhead end of unit). Ensure handlebar is posi- tioned on handlebar clamp between the arrows on the handlebar decal.

NOTE: The tube clamp base has four spacer tabs attached, These tabs are provided to adapt this attachment for use with powerheads that have a 1" di- ameter upper tube (the tube clamp will not tighten down securely on the 1" di- ameter upper tube without using these spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken

off completely before use and placed over the screw holes on the clamp base.

These tabs are not needed for power- heads with a 7/8" upper tube.
