HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid se- rious injury, the barrier portion of the handle- bar must be installed as shown on the upper shaft of the powerhead to provide a barrier be- tween operator and the spinning blade. 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.

1.Place the mounting bracket over the up- per shaft above the arrow on the safety label. Be sure to use the correct mounting bracket for either the 1″ (2.5 cm) or 7/8″ (2.2 cm) diameter upper shaft.
2.Position one of the bracket covers under the upper shaft and align the mounting bracket and the bracket cover screw holes. Insert two screws into the screw holes.
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 1″ (2.5 cm)diameter upper shaft (the shoulder strap clamp will not tighten down securely on the 1″ (2.5 cm) diam- eter 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 7/8″ (2.2 cm) upper shaft.
