Unpacking Instructions

NOTE: Do not severely bend any of the control cables on the tiller.

1.The tiller is heavy. Do not attempt to remove it from the shipping platform until instructed to do so in these assembly steps.

2.Remove all unassembled parts from the carton. The hardware bag is included in your literature packaging.

NOTE: Do not force the height adjustment lever through the handlebars. The interlock wires may be blocking the lever and could be damaged. You may gently move the wires aside if this condition occurs.

4.Raise the handlebars to one of two height settings and tighten the height adjustment lever. Also, make sure all other mounting hardware is securely tightened.
