Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in

otherwise healthy people.

Attach handlebar mounting bracket above arrow on safety warning decal on the upper shaft (pow- erhead end of unit). Ensure handlebar is posi- tioned on mounting bracket at the end of the arrow on the handlebar decal.

NOTE: Two mounting brackets are included with this attachment. Both brackets are provided to adapt this attachment for use with power- heads that have either a 1″ (2.5 cm) diameter or a 7/8″ (2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft. The cor- rect bracket must be used to ensure that the handlebar is mounted securely to the upper shaft before use.
