Rest the mower on its side or place supporting blocks under one side of the mower.
Refer to Figure 1 and insert the hubcap assembly through the wheel and thread the complete assembly into the desired height adjustment position by hand.

By putting fingers into the grooves in the hubcap assembly, tighten firmly.

InstallingtheLower Handles
Insert long end of the lower handle into the handle base. Make certain the small hole in the end of the
handle is lined up with the hole in handle base. Using one of the two longer self tapping screws from the hardware pack, insert the screw through the tooth washer, flat washer, and the handle cap as shown in Figure 2.
Align the handle cap so it rests flush against the handle base, and tighten the screw into the lower handle using a phillips screwdriver.
Repeat this step for the remaining lower handle. Once both lower handles are installed, insert the lower handle plugs into the upper ends of the lower handles as shown in Figure 2.
Installingthe Upper Handle
Standing behind the lawnmower with the upper handle, make certain the two holes that wilt hold the
blade / motor control are on the right hand side. See Figure 2 for proper alignment of upper handle.
