Figure 5

Raise the lower handle in the direction shown in Figure 5 (step 1) till it snaps into place.

Raise the upper handle in the direction shown in Figure 5 (step 2). Tighten the hand knobs which are already on the handle. See Figure 6A. For convenience in assembly, do not overtighten these knobs as you will be replacing these later in the assembly.

NOTE: Make sure to route the cables inside the lower handle. Also do not crimp the cables while lifting the handle up.

For shipping purposes, the hairpin clip is placed in the outer hole of the weld pin on the lower handle. Remove the hairpin clip from the outer hole of the weld pin.

Using a pair of pliers, insert the hairpin clip into the inner hole in the weld pin. Repeat on other side. See Figure 6B.

Attach the cables to the lower handle with the two cable ties already on the lower handle. Pull tight the cable ties and cut off the extra. See Figure 6C below.
