1.Remove the screws 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. 1). Place it a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) from the end of the shaft grip.

3.Start screws with a large Flat-head or T-25 Torx screwdriver. Do not tighten until you make the handle adjustment.
