HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY

DANGER: RISK OF CUT. To avoid serious injury, the barrier portion of the handlebar must be installed as shown on the upper shaft of the powerhead to provide a barrier between op- erator and the spinning blade. Attach shaft clamp above arrow on safety warning decal on the upper shaft (powerhead end of unit). Ensure handlebar is positioned on handlebar clamp be- tween the arrows on the handlebar decal.

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