3.Secure the mounting bracket by tighten- ing the screws with the hex wrench.

4.Locate the decal on the handlebar. This decal includes an arrow. Position the handlebar with the mounting bracket at the end of the arrow.

5.Position the second bracket cover over the handlebar. Align the mounting brack- et and the bracket cover screw holes. Again make sure the handlebar is at the end of the arrow.

6.Insert two screws and hand tighten only. Be sure the handlebar is installed cor- rectly; then, tighten each screw securely with the hex wrench.

SHOULDER STRAP ASSEMBLY

WARNING: Proper shoulder strap and handlebar adjustments must be made with the engine completely stopped before us- ing unit. The shoulder strap clamp must be installed as shown above the handlebar on the upper shaft (powerhead end of unit).

NOTE: The lower shoulder strap clamp has two spacer tabs attached. These tabs are pro- vided to adapt this attachment for use with powerheads that have a 1diameter upper shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten down securely on the 1diameter upper shaft without using these spacer tabs). The tabs must be broken off completely before use and placed over the screw holes on the lower shoulder strap clamp. These tabs are not needed for powerheads with a 7/8upper shaft.

Known for its reliability and performance, this model incorporates several innovative features, technologies, and characteristics that set it apart in the market.
