2.Insert the end of the handle between the clamps.

3.Align the bolt holes and push the long bolt (1/4-20 x 1 1/2 in) through the handle side.

4.Place short bolt (1/4-20 x 1 in) through opposite side of clamp. Install flat washer, lock washers and hex nuts to hold the assembly in place.

5.After assembly is complete, adjust the position of the handle for best balance and comfort.

6.Tighten first the long bolt and then the short bolt.
