ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING THE HANDLEBARS

Before you can operate the unit, you must install the handlebars.

1.When you unpack the unit, loosen and remove the two knobs and washers from the inside of the lower bars (Fig. 1).

2.Hold the handle bar in the position shown in Figure 1 and slide it onto the lower bars making sure that the ends of the handlebar are on the inside of the lower bars.

3.Align the holes in the handlebar with the holes in the lower bars and insert the bolts through those holes.

NOTE: Take care not to pinch the switch cable when positioning the handlebars.

4.Place the washers on the bolts, then screw the two knobs onto them.

5.Tighten the knobs to secure the handlebars in place.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.

6.Clip the switch cable to the cable restraint on the lower bar as shown in the inset of Figure 1.

USING THE CORD RETAINER

There is an extension cord retainer to prevent the extension cord from disconnecting during use. The retainer hangs from the cord guide bar.

NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into the power source receptacle until the cord is connected to the cord retainer and plugged into the unit.

To use the cord retainer:

1.Fold the extension cord in half, forming a tight loop near the receptacle.

2.Push the loop through the bottom hole in the retainer (Fig. 2).

3.Slide the loop over the retaining clip and pull down until the cord fits snugly (Fig. 2).

NOTE: Use a UL-approved extension cord. A 100-foot, 14-gauge cord is recommended. A 50-foot, 16- gauge cord is acceptable.

Both the cord retainer and guide bar restrain the extension cord and keep it out of the way at all times, safely to the side of the operator.

The extension cord and retainer will slide on the guide bar as the unit is moved to the left and right. Connect your extension cord to the unit as shown in Figure 3.
