On some units, the D-handle may be preinstalled and only require loosening the screws and adjusting the D-handle to the operator. Go to step 4 for adjusting the D-handle if preinstalled.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE D-HANDLE

1.Remove the screws, nuts and bottom clamp piece that were installed on the D-handle for shipping.

2.Place D-handle the over the shaft housing and onto the bottom clamp (Fig. 3-1). Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.

3.Hold each hex nut in the bottom clamp recess with a finger. Start screws with a large Phillips screw- driver. Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.

4.If it was preinstalled, loosen the screws on the D-handle just enough to move the D-handle.

5.While holding the unit in the operating position (Fig. 3-2), position the D-handle to the location that provides you the best grip.

6.Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the D-handle is secure.

INSTALLING THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHIELD

Use the following instructions if the cutting attachment shield on your unit is not installed.

Never operate the trimmer without the cutting attachment shield in place to prevent serious personal injury.

1.Place the cutting attachment shield onto the shaft housing above the clamp assembly (Fig. 3-3).

2.Push the cutting attachment shield down to the top of the cutting attachment assembly and then rotate the cutting attachment shield until the screw holes align and the guard fits into the recessed pocket (Fig. 3-3).

3.Install the four (4) screws with a Phillips screwdriver (Fig. 3-4).
