CAUTION: When assembling the handle for the first time, use caution when lifting the handle. The shift lever rod can get caught on the lower handle cross member and if forced into position can bend the spring shift lever. If necessary, move the shift rod in front of the cross member as you raise the handle into position.
There are two Supplement Sheets dated July 19 2004 and July 20, 2004 – Subject: Connector Sleeve on Two Stage Snow Thrower shift rod. (Styles: E, F, H, K, L, N, O, P and Q.)
Vibration may cause the rod connector sleeve to slide up out of position. The remedy is to slide the connecter sleeve fully down. Secure it in place by placing a rubber bushing over the top of the lower shift rod OR the upper shift rod.. (A small piece of gas line can be used as a bushing.) This will prevent the sleeve from sliding up the shaft. See Figure 1.
