lever.
3. Insert the two #10-32 x 1/2" round
head screws down through the "+" marks
on the control panel decal and through the
holes in the base of the engine throttle
lever.
4. Hold the engine throttle lever base
against the bottom of the control panel
and secure it with the two #10 lockwasher
and #10-32 nuts.
5. Place the "T" shaped engine throttle
lever knob onto the end of the lever and
use a board to tap the knob down until it
seats firmly on the lever (see Figure 2-13).
6. Move the lever forward and backward
– it should move freely through the full
range of travel. (Note that there is a
detent at the SLOW setting which catches
the lever. This detent prevents the lever
from unintentionally moving to the STOP
setting when you are just trying to slow
the engine down.) If the lever is difficult
to move away from the STOP setting,
loosen both screws and move the lever
assembly slightly to the left. Retighten
both screws and recheck the movement.
Adjust the lever as needed.
7. Secure the throttle cable to the right-
side handlebar with two plastic ties (R,
Figure 2-14) located about two feet apart.
The serrated side of the tie should be on
the inside of the loop. Snip off any excess
tie length with scissors.

STEP 8: ATTACH WHEEL GEAR LEVER
For shipping purposes, the wheel gear
cable is wrapped around the transmission.
Carefully unwrap the cable and attach it as
follows:
1. Route the wheel gear cable up the left-
side handlebar and insert the lever (S,
Figure 2-15) up through the slot in the
control panel, labeled WHEEL GEAR.
2. Insert two #10-32 x 1/2" round head
screws down through the "+" marks on
the control panel decal and through the
holes in the base of the lever.
3. Secure the base with two #10 lock-
washers and #10-32 nuts.
4. Place the wheel gear lever knob on the
end of the lever and use a board to tap the
knob down until it seats firmly on the lever
(see Figure 2-15).
5. Secure the cable to the left-side han-
dlebar with two plastic ties (T, Figure
2-14) located about two feet apart. Snip
off any excess tie length with scissors.

STEP 9: CHECK TIRE AIR
PRESSURE
Use an automotive-type tire pressure
gauge to check the air pressure in both
tires. Deflate or inflate both tires evenly
between 15 and 20 PSI (pounds per
square inch). Be sure that both tires have
equal air pressure or the unit will pull to
one side.
STEP 10: CHECK HARDWARE
TIGHTNESS
Inspect the hardware on the unit and
tighten any loose screws, bolts and nuts.
IMPORTANT: This completes the assem-
bly steps. Read the rest of this Manual
before you operate your tiller.
