Assembly

On some units, the J-handle may be preinstalled and only require loosening the screws and adjusting the J-handle to the operator. Go to step 6 for adjusting the J-handle if preinstalled.

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE J-HANDLE

Installing

1.Remove the screws, nuts, top and middle clamp pieces that were installed on the J-handle for ship- ping.

2.Place the J-handle between the top and middle clamp pieces (Fig. 3-1).

3.While holding the three pieces together, install the four (4) screws through the top clamp and into middle clamp.

NOTE: The holes in the top and middle clamp will line up only when assembled correctly.

4.Place the clamps and J-handle the over the shaft housing and onto the bottom clamp.

5.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.

Adjusting

6.Loosen the screws so that the J-handle can be easily moved in the clamp assembly. Do not remove the screws or nuts.

7.Slide the J-handle in or out until the arrow/white line on the decal touches the clamp assembly (Fig. 3-2).

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

9.Tighten the clamp screws evenly, until the J-handle is secure.
