WARNING: The handle insulators are not only used to adjust handle height, but are also a safety device and should never be altered in any way. If replacement is necessary, use original equipment parts as shown in the parts list on page 17.
•The upper handle may be adjusted to three different height positions. To adjust the handle at the desired position, align one of the three marks on the top of the lower handle insulators with the mark on the upper handle insulators. See Figure 4.
