Assembly
Remove and discard wire protector from lower handle tube. Figure 2.
NOTE: Care should be given as not to damage wire harness while assembling Snowthrower.
NOTE: You may find it difficult to slide the upper handle assembly into the lower handle during initial assembly. This is due to the close tolerance fit between the upper and lower tubes, required to ensure a rigid assembly. If this problem arises proceed as follows:
SPlace a small amount of grease or oil on the inside of lower tubes. This will ensure a smooth and even fit when sliding upper tubes into lower tubes.
SFold wire harness, and insert excess wire into lower right handle tube. Put as much of the wire harness as possible into lower tube.
SWhile holding lower grip firmly, carefully slide the right and left upper handle tubes into lower handle tubes until holes are aligned evenly on both sides. DO NOT DAMAGE WIRE HARNESS. Figure 3.
SWipe off any excess grease or oil.
