HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
,_ DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid
serious injury, the barrier portion of the handlebar must be installed as shown
on the upper shaft of the powerhead to provide a barrier between operator and the spinning blade. Attach handlebar mounting bracket above arrow on safety warning decal on the upper shaft (powerhead end of unit). Ensure
handlebar is positioned on mounting bracket at the end of the arrow on the
handlebar decal.
NOTE: Two mounting brackets are in- cluded with this attachment. Both brack-
ets are provided to adapt this attach- ment for use with powerheads that have either a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter or a 7/8"
(2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft. The cor- rect bracket must be used to ensure that
the handlebar is mounted securely to the upper shaft before use.

SHOULDER STRAP ASSEMBLY
_bWARNING: Proper shoulder
strap and handlebar adjustments must be made with the engine completely stopped before using unit. The shoul- der strap clamp must be installed as shown above the handlebar on the up- per shaft (powerhead end of unit). NOTE: The lower shoulder strap clamp has two spacer tabs attached. These tabs are provided to adapt this attach- ment for use with powerheads that have a 1" diameter upper shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten down se- curely on the 1" diameter upper shaft without using these spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken off completely be- fore use and placed over the screw holes on the lower shoulder strap clamp. These tabs are not needed for power- heads with a 7/8" upper shaft.
