ASSEMBLY

WARNING: If received assembled, repeat all steps to ensure your unit is properly assembled and all fasteners are secure.

TOOLS REQUIRED

S2 hex key wrenches (provided)

Sadjustable wrench or large pliers

ATTACHING THE TUBE

NOTE: Illustrations within this section will help in identifying the assembly steps. Be sure to read each section and review the illustrations, before you begin.

NOTE: A drive shaft is located in the center of the tube. Make sure this shaft does not fall out of the tube. Dirt on the shaft will signifi- cantly reduce the life of the unit. If this shaft falls out, clean, relubricate , and re-install.

SInsert the 2 tube assembly screws and nuts as illustrated. Keep loose at this time, you will tighten them during a later step.

S Some units may include a plastic cover over the end of the tube. If your unit includes any covering, remove the cover at this time.

SPull about 1/2 inch of the drive shaft out of the inside of the tube.

Pull about 1/2 inch from tube

Tube

NOTE: The end of the drive shaft is square. This square end fits inside a square hole in a shaft inside the engine. Look inside the end of the engine and you will see the square hole in the shaft.

NOTE: The end of the tube has a groove that aligns with a ridge in the engine opening. Lo- cate the groove and ridge.

Ridge Groove

SAlign the groove in the tube with the ridge in the engine opening. Insert the tube into the opening.

SFirmly push the tube into engine until it will no longer go into the opening.

S Tighten the screws, using one of the hex keys provided with the unit.

ATTACHING THE HANDLEBAR

DANGER: The barrier portion of the handlebar must be installed as shown to pro- vide a barrier between operator and the spin- ning blade.

NOTE: Unlike a bicycle the handgrips on the handlebar point toward the front instead of to- ward the back.

SLocate the decal on the handlebar. This de-

cal includes two arrows. Position the han- dlebar on the mounting bracket between these arrows.

SPosition the bracket cover over the handle- bar. Again make sure the handlebar is be-

tween the arrows.

SInsert screws and hand tighten only. These screws will be tightened later.
