3.5Install casters to front of deck using appropriate hardware from the bolt bag (eight 3/8 x 3/4" bolts and eight 3/8" whizlock nuts); tightening the lower four bolts first, then the top four.

3.6Loosen the 5/16" hardware at the two (2) discharge deflector hinge points so that the deflector is snug, but can be moved up and down freely.

3.7Mount the fuel tank on the tank support.

Apply retaining adhesive Fel-Pro Pro-Lock ‘Retaining Type I or Retaining II’ or Loctite RC 609 or 680 on the two threaded studs from the bolt bag and install into the two left holes underneath fuel tank. Install the fuel tank on top of the fuel tank support with the studs going through the slots in the support. Install two 5/16 x 3/4 screws with a 5/16” flatwasher and 5/16” lockwasher into the threaded holes in the right side of the fuel tank. Do not over tighten. Place

a 5/16” flatwasher, then a spring, and a 5/16 nyloc nut over each of the studs. Completely tighten nyloc nut then back off a 1/2 turn. This will allow for normal fuel expansion and contraction with changes in temperature and fuel levels.

Do not over tighten.

3.8Install Handle Assembly

Position the lower end of the handle assembly on the outside of the upper rear section of the fuel tank & handle support. Install one 3/8-16 x 1" bolt (from the outside in) in the upper hole on each side of the handle.

Loosely secure each screw with a 3/8" nyloc nut. The handle can now be pivoted to allow positioning in one of the three holes allowing various adjustments for operator comfort (See Figures 1 & 2). Once a proper position is found, install one 3/8 x 1" bolt in the bottom mounting holes on each side of the handle. Secure each bolt with a 3/8" nyloc nut. Tighten all hardware.
